Make Gumtree Animal Free

Gumtree is just one selling site that allows people to buy and sell their pets online, however it is one of the largest and most well known. If we can ask Gumtree to stop allowing animal adverts, then maybe other sites will soon follow suit.
Animals often exchange hands with no home checks or suitable questions about who is purchasing the pet and why. Unfortunately, many animals advetised on the site will end up either being used as bait for fighting dogs, or abandoned on the street when the new owner realises they can't care for them properly.
As a Veterinary Nurse I have seen first hand what can happen to animals bought or sold on these types of sites and it is time to change that.
Animals are not property and should not be available to buy or sell or a website, they should be in the care of rescue centres, which are able to offer necessaru checks on potential owners and also offer to take the animal back if circumstances change.

Thank you all so much! We exceeded the target and smashed the timeline too. I will put this forward to Gumtree. My hope is to now create an e-petition with defined targets that can go forward to the government. In order to do this it must reach 100,00 signatures. There is currently one in place but it finishes soon and only has 654 signatures and no real specifications. Once this one has finished I will create a new one and I hope that I can count on your help once more?
Many thanks again

Hello,
After an initial flying start this petition has now slumped. In order for this to go hefore parliament to be fully discussed and potentially have a law backing it up it would need at least 100,000 signatures! Please share it with friends, family and co-workers and lets try to get gumtree to stop allowing people to sell their pets like possessions!
Thank you
Laura
