Closed Ban all online sales of cats and dogs

Closed on

Thousands of cats and dogs are sold cheaply on online selling websites. We are concerned that many of these animals end up in the wrong hands, leading to their mistreatment or even death. We want a ban on ALL online selling of cats and dogs.

The UK is a nation of animal lovers, and we want the Government to step up and ban all sales of kittens, cats, puppies and dogs on these sites. We are concerned that the online sale of animals makes it easy for people involved in blood sports or other abusive behaviour to procure animals.

We want a ban on all sites from selling animals.
