Closed petition Make it an offence to leave a dog unattended for 12 hours
Closed on
As a nation of dog lovers, I’m sure people would be horrified to discover that is allowed by law to leave a dog unattended to for 24 hours. This is a form of neglect and causes stress to the dog. Dogs need companionship, stimulation and be able to toilet suitably. Please help me in changing this.
As far as I am aware the laws on domestic pets have only changed once since 1911 and currently do not reflect the expected care of duty a responsible and caring dog owner would have for their family pet dog.
