This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Free Stella the dog locked up for over 2 years without exercise.
Stella the dog was taken into custody through no fault of her own and is now facing termination due to her breed.
Stella never chose to be the breed she is and she shouldn't be penalised for something out with her control.
Please free Stella or allow her to be rehomed.
More details
Stella has been locked in a cage 3ft by 9ft for over 2 years without exercise due to the ' Dangerous dog act'.
She has shown no signs of aggressive behaviour and deserves the right to a fair life.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition as it does not call for an action which the UK Government and Parliament is responsible for. The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for decisions to hold specific dogs under the Dangerous Dogs Act. As we understand it, a destruction order for Stella has been passed by Torquay Magistrates' Court. The courts are independent of the Government and Parliament.
Parliament does have the power to change the law. If you would like the Dangerous Dogs Act to be changed, you could start a petition calling for that to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
