Puppy and kitten sales to be banned in English pet shops

Pet shops and dealers in England will be banned from selling puppies and kittens under the age of six months under new government plans.

Instead, people will be encouraged to buy kittens and puppies from rescue shelters or directly from trusted breeders.

The government's aim is to reduce the health problems in animals being bred in bad conditions.
