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 the specific change you want to see.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
