Pet Animals Act, 1952.
This Act, which came into operation on 1st April, 1952,
provides that no person shall keep a pet shop, except under the
authority of a licence granted in accordance with the provisions
of the Act.
The local authority is empowered to grant such licences on
payment of a fee subject to compliance with such conditions
as may be specified in the licence, having regard to the need for
securing : —
(a) that animals will at all times be kept in accommodation
suitable as respects size, temperature, lighting,
ventilation and cleanliness;
(b) that animals will be adequately supplied with suitable
food and drink and (so far as necessary) visited at
suitable intervals ;
(c) that animals, being mammals, will not be sold at too
early an age;
(d) that all reasonable precautions will be taken to prevent
the spread among animals of infectious diseases ;
(e) that appropriate steps will be taken in case of fire or
other emergency.
For the purposes of this Act an "animal" includes any
description of vertebrate.
In order to secure uniformity throughout London in the
conditions to be specified in licences granted under this Act, the
matter was referred by the Council to the Metropolitan Boroughs'
Standing Joint Committee, who subsequently submitted the
following list of conditions which were adopted by the Council:—
1. No animal shall be displayed so as to expose it to
interference or annoyance by persons or animals.
