Rejected petition Justice for Jade - improved

More details

We want the law changed to make dog owners accountable for their dogs. Currently, the police have no powers to prosecute dog owners if their dog attacks somebody on private property, we want that changed as well as regulating breeding so they have a license and all dogs are registered and micro chipped. This would give police the power to intervene when dogs are badly trained and/or unlicensed. This will hopefully prevent further dog attacks as it is the dog owner, not the breed that is dangerous.
