We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Increase regulation of animal sales
We believe that the legislation surrounding animal sales is insubstantial and should be changed to incorporate new requirements for breeders, and restrictions on sales and advertising of sales.
More details
New regulations should include:
Animals to be sold through the breeder only, not through pet shops and third parties (this law currently only applies to cats and dogs)
All breeders to be licensed regardless of species or number of litters
Adverts for stud animals to be banned
Adverts for animal sales to be banned in the month prior to Christmas and the month prior to Easter
Animals must have had their recommended vaccinations before being sold
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
