They don't deserve to suffer all the life they have as a result of what we view as unethical breeding.","additional_details":"Our pets don't deserve to suffer from this unethical breeding. The health issues certain breeds have put stress on their owners by having to deal with the cost of keeping their pet healthy and alive by going to the vets. Moreover, an animal doesn't deserve to live its whole life struggling to live normally as it battles the struggles of breathing, walking, jumping and simply living. Unethical breeders have put our precious pets through too much due to what we feel is their greed for money.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":41,"created_at":"2026-03-18T09:02:27.205Z","updated_at":"2026-04-30T11:48:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-20T10:18:41.060Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-18T09:15:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Liam Smith","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DEFRA","name":"Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"Canada","code":"CA","signature_count":1},{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":40}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Ashton-under-Lyne","ons_code":"E14001070","mp":"Rt Hon Angela Rayner MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Barrow and Furness","ons_code":"E14001076","mp":"Michelle Scrogham MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bassetlaw","ons_code":"E14001079","mp":"Jo White MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bradford West","ons_code":"E14001120","mp":"Naz Shah MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bristol North West","ons_code":"E14001134","mp":"Rt Hon Darren Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chesterfield","ons_code":"E14001165","mp":"Mr Toby Perkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chorley","ons_code":"E14001170","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Clacton","ons_code":"E14001174","mp":"Nigel Farage MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Colne Valley","ons_code":"E14001177","mp":"Paul Davies MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derbyshire Dales","ons_code":"E14001195","mp":"John Whitby MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Eastbourne","ons_code":"E14001219","mp":"Josh Babarinde MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Fylde","ons_code":"E14001242","mp":"Mr Andrew Snowden MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Gillingham and Rainham","ons_code":"E14001246","mp":"Naushabah Khan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Havant","ons_code":"E14001275","mp":"Alan Mak MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hazel Grove","ons_code":"E14001277","mp":"Lisa Smart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice","ons_code":"E14001315","mp":"Emma Hardy MP","signature_count":12},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North East Hampshire","ons_code":"E14001392","mp":"Alex Brewer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Northumberland","ons_code":"E14001397","mp":"David Smith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West Norfolk","ons_code":"E14001405","mp":"James Wild MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Taunton and Wellington","ons_code":"E14001540","mp":"Gideon Amos MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Arbroath and Broughty Ferry","ons_code":"S14000066","mp":"Stephen Gethins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Glenrothes and Mid Fife","ons_code":"S14000090","mp":"Richard Baker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Aberafan Maesteg","ons_code":"W07000081","mp":"Stephen Kinnock MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Cardiff North","ons_code":"W07000090","mp":"Anna McMorrin MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":7},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":14},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":3},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":2},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":4},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":4},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":2},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
