Rejected petition Stop exporting and selling exotic birds in the United Kingdom
I would like to ask the UK government to help stop the exporting and selling of exotic birds.
These exotic birds should not be taken from their natural origin and then put in cages to live miserable lives.
More details
After recently visiting a pet shop, my heart ached watching the birds caged as they wish they were free as they once were.
I look at their innocent eyes glare back behind the bars and I think what have they done to deserve this life in jail.
Who are we as humans to take living creatures right to freedom away.
I would like this cruelty to end and for these beautiful creatures to have their forever freedom.
