This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Compulsory Vetting and Licensing of all Dog Owners, Reduce Injuries and Deaths caused by Dogs.
More details
Wipe out 'Dangerous Dog Owners', and we will wipe out dangerous dogs. Too many dogs are bred purely for money, too many puppies are born, and most of them won't be wanted. Many will be abused, unloved, unwanted, and live in fear of humans, which, in turn will cause aggression.
Micro- chipping will not stop dangerous dogs. Kind owners will.
I petition for a compulsory dog license in order to prove responsibility and commitment of owners,and vetting by animal welfare organisations before being allowed to own or breed a dog.
