Rejected petition Stop dogs that looks like a 'pitbull' being put down purely on looks

Today my dog was seized by belfast city council as someone complained about how he looked. The dog warden entered the home and removed him. She explained she did not deem him as dangerous however because he looks like a 'pitbull' that would be enough to end his life.
