You are probably aware of the recent announcement by the UK Government that puppies and kittens will no longer be sold in pet shops from April 2020 as per Lucy’s Law third party sales ban.
This is great news for cats and dogs currently exploited by puppy farmers and dealers, including those who are smuggled into the UK.
Marc the vet and many other campaign groups and supporters worked hard to achieve this over the last ten years so huge well done to them!

On the back of that we have created a very short survey. We want to know what you think about rabbits and other pets sold in pet shops and how that influences your shopping habits. You will notice that a couple of questions mention Pets at Home. This is because they are the main pet retailer selling rabbits and other small pets in the UK with over 440 stores. If you are a UK resident, we would be grateful if you could fill out this survey. Feel free to take part if you live outside of the UK but some of the questions won’t be relevant to you. It is very quick, easy and anonymous. It should take less than 5 minutes. Here's the link:

The survey is open until June 21st. Please share it in relevant pet and animal rescue groups, pages and communities so we can get a wider picture.
Thank you very much!
