Petition To Ban Pet Shops Selling Kittens


Hello everyone,

Apologies if this is in the wrong section. I couldn't see anywhere else suitable to put it.


If you agree with the wording of the petition (copied below) please click on this link and sign the petition. Please also pass the link along to friends and family.

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/petshopkittens/

Thankyou!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


We believe the buying and selling of kittens from pet shops and other retail outlets, and the keeping of such animals on these premises for the purpose of sale:

- is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of the animals concerned

- actively encourages backstreet breeding of kittens for financial gain

- has the very serious effect of ensuring that the many thousands of cats and kittens already in rescues up and down the country have less chance of being rehomed.
