Petition Ban the selling of pets online and require a licence to sell any pets

We want the Government to make it illegal to sell pets online, and require anyone selling a pet to have a licence.

More details

We are concerned that people selling pets online often haven't bred or cared for the pets they sell responsibly. Banning the online sale of pets, and requiring anyone selling a pet to have a licence, could help cut down on animal welfare issues.
