Why this petition matters

Started by Cllr Anthony Flynn

Lucy's Law is new legislation coming into effect in England from April 2020, this legislation will ban 3rd party sales of puppies and kittens, helping to put an end to callous and inhumane puppy farming in the UK.

We believe that the department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs should follow suit and implement similar legislation in Northern Ireland, with a new minister now in place, a similar ban can now become a reality.

Lucy's Law is named after the Cavalier King George Spaniel who suffered multiple health conditions, including a curved spine, bald patches, epilepsy, and infused hips as a result of spending most of her life kept in a cage and used to breed litters of puppies at a Welsh puppy farm.

In 2013 Lucy was rescued by Lisa Garner, who used social media to spread the word about the conditions in puppy farms.

In her memory, Lucy's Law campaign was launched.

Please add your support to this campaign and let's ban 3rd party sales of puppies and kittens.
