Petition Remove specific breeds mainly Rottweilers & Staffordshire Bull Terrier sentencing council guidlines

More details

Both the Rottweiler and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier are named in the Sentencing Councils Guidlines scenarios on dangerous dogs to help familiarise sentencers with the guidlines approach and process;

This we beleive to be biased against these breeds and may reflect upon the outcome when cases concerning these breeds are heard at court. We therefore want them removed and replaced with the words 'dog' to make them non breed specific.
