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

Closed on

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

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.
