Rejected petition Ban the sale of animals on Facebook
More details
I want the government to ban the sale of animals on Facebook. Many Facebook pages have been started with the good intention of re-homing pets but these pages are making it easy for people to breed and sell animals. There are millions of animals in the care of charities looking for good homes. A pet shop has to have a licence to keep/sell live animals to ensure that the animals are cared for appropriately. There is no protection for animals being bred and sold on Facebook.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
This is a matter for Facebook.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
