More details from petition creator

The Convention is based on the principle that pet animals should not be abandoned, nor be caused unnecessary pain, suffering or distress. It stipulates minimum standards to which national governments should give effect, with respect to pet animals kept in households, or in any establishment for trading or commercial breeding and boarding, or in animal sanctuaries. It also makes provision with respect to stray animals and humane education programs
