Ban the sale of young puppies & kittens without their mothers being present
Responsible department: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Puppies & kittens mass produced in horrific puppy/kitten farms are separated from their mothers too early, transported long distances & sold via pet shops, newspaper ads, websites & private dealers.
These puppies/kittens suffer:
Impaired immune systems
Painful diseases requiring costly treatment
Shorter life spans
Poor socialisation leading to behavioural issues
Prospective owners should always:
Ask “Where's Mum?”
Insist on seeing puppy/kitten & mother interacting
Be aware of scams e.g. fake/no mother present
The only exceptions are rescue animals that have been orphaned/abandoned.
We, the undersigned, call on the Government to ban the sale of young puppies/kittens unless their mothers are present.
We ask for urgent action to raise awareness & encourage the public to choose a responsibly bred puppy/kitten at least 8 weeks old, or adopt from a legitimate rescue organisation.
The Government must end the cruel practice of puppy/kitten farming in the UK.
