“As someone who has campaigned for years on this issue, I welcome the announcement by the government that it will finally ban the sale of puppies and kittens by pet shops, online dealers and other third party sellers. This is a huge victory for all those who campaign for improving animal welfare standards in the UK and beyond.”
