Rejected petition End the Specific Breed dog law. It is not fit for purpose.

There is no such thing as a bad dog, there are only bad owners.
It is time the Government started addressing the problems caused by certain dog owners rather than blaming specific breeds.
The Government is looking at the wrong end of the lead !

More details

Over the years I have known many beautiful and gentle Pitbulls, (I will use this breed as my example). This is because they had good owners who trained them properly, have them love and care.
Any dog can be vicious in the wrong hands, it is so unfair to blame specific breeds.
I would like to see much more being done to prevent idiots and fools from owning any large or powerful breed.
