Rejected petition Make dangerous dog act about creating positive change not killing innocent dogs

Discuss the solution to the dangerous dog act.
The attacks are not caused by dogs, it’s because we sit & watch as they are over bred, hyped all across social media, shipped & sold for money. Whist some are neglected & abandoned
It’s time we stop passing blame to innocent animal & create a solution

More details

There are solutions
- Owners need licence to have a dog
- No unlicensed breeding. No selling/buying online (actually regulate this)
- Actual punishments for animal abuse/neglect to be implement and tightened
- Animal welfare education in our schools, so the next generation doesn’t repeat this

With all due respect the attacks are not on the dogs, they are on the people in power ignoring the problems.

We are better than this. Let’s come together and create a world without suffering together
