Closed Make it illegal to leave dogs tied up outside shops unattended

Closed on

I want the UK Government to:-

a) make it illegal for leaving a dog tied up unattended and to impose a fine

b) impose a Leash Law that requires that a person, not a tree or post, be at the other end of the leash

c) advise as to what can happen when you leave a pet tied-up unattended : –

◾ Your pet could get into a tussle with a reactive dog that walks by (or your dog could be the reactive dog)

◾The risk of a pet getting loose or stolen

◾Advise that several things may happen to stolen pets – they could be held for ransom, could be sold for bait dogs, scientific experiments or into another abusive situation.

AND that the safest thing is to keep a pet with you at all times or leave your pet at home
