Increase animal welfare legislation within the UK

The Issue

Millions of dogs throughout the UK are being illegally imported and trafficked into poor living conditions to make a profit. Most of these dogs and puppies have contracted deadly diseases and most often die young. This then leaves unaware owners with high vet bills and distress. The penalty for breeders who carry out these illegal activities if caught are merely given a fine or at most 3-6 months in prison therefore leading to bigger problems such as organised crime. We would like your help to make a change!

By signing this petition we would like to raise awareness around this problem due to the poor legislation around the situation and hopefully tighten restrictions.
