This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Change in the “LAWS” regarding “DOGS” in Public Spaces as it is Worthless Now.
At this time Nobody upholds the Laws regarding Dogs in Public Spaces, Nobody Scans them for a Microchip, also who deals with Dog owners who have Dogs loose where they Attack other Dogs or sometimes their owners, we live where there are a Range of Hills and Common land, a dog attacked one of two men.
More details
The Trust that runs the Hills and Commons has nobody who can Fine and Enforce the Laws, it would take the Police some time to get to an Incident by which the ones involved are long gone, we have been told of some really nasty Attacks with Dogs being Ripped open, this could be a Small Child and the Owners Must be Punished as they know their own Dog, Sheep and Cattle are Allowed to graze but every year Sheep are Killed in a Horrible way and Cattle have had their Mouths Attacked Bleeding.
