Hawking should be stopped
Petition published by odetara precious on Jun 12, 2012
Target: senate
Region: GLOBAL
Petition Background (Preamble):
A hawker is a vendor of merchandise that can be easily transported; the term is roughly synonymous with peddler or costermonger.
In most places where the term is used, a hawker sells items or food that are native to the area. Whether stationary or mobile, hawkers usually advertise by loud street cries or chants, and conduct banter with customers, so to attract attention and enhance sales.
When accompanied by a demonstration and/or detailed explanation of the product, the hawker is sometimes referred to as a demonstrator or pitchman.
