🐾 They Call It Protection. But It’s Legalised Suffering.

This concerns everyone with a heart.

The UK Government is proposing a ban on the import of puppies and kittens under 6 months old — even if loving families are waiting to welcome them.

If passed, this law would:

• Deny young animals a family during their most critical development window;
• Condemn them to be shipped like boxes — in unventilated vans, without litter trays;
• Trap them in shelters, where their fate may be loneliness or euthanasia.

This is not protection.
This is cruelty — wrapped in red tape.

What science — and conscience — says

Global veterinary research confirms: the socialisation window closes around 4 months. After that:

• Animals struggle to adapt to new families;
• Fear, anxiety, and aggression become more common;
• They’re labelled “unadoptable” and often returned to shelters.

And the shelters? They profit. The more “unsocialised victims” they house, the more funding they claim.

What this bill silently takes from you:

• Your right to send a trusted courier or volunteer to collect your pet;
• A family’s chance to bond with a young animal during the healthy imprinting window;
• The very foundation of safe, humane PET Travel.

Instead, they offer you: third-party logistics, cargo vans, and Eastern European puppy mills.
Some don’t survive the journey.
