Rejected petition Allow dogs everywhere as they do in the USA and Europe.
I had just travelled to Italy and noticed how dogs were allowed in all areas including public transport, restaurants, supermarkets, and airports. I believe that the UK should allow responsible dog owners to do the same thing as many well trained dogs are harmless.
More details
Many dogs in the UK are well trained and taken care of by responsible owners who are forced to leave their dogs behind when they go out shopping, for a meal, on holiday or just on transport. I often see dogs chained up to the polls of supermarkets or restaurants, or left in cars with only a small window open, which is unfair to the animals. The UK is known to be a nation of dog lovers, but this isn’t portrayed in our society when we compare ourself to Western countries such as USA and Europe.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
There are no laws to prevent dogs from entering private premises, this would be a decision for individual business and property owners and not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
