Rejected petition Make it the law for dogs to wear leads in public places
Rejected on
I witnessed a dog kill a kitten. The dog wasn't on a lead. Since this incident several others have told me about incidents where their children have been knocked over by dogs off leads and others have said their dogs have been attacked by dogs off leads.
The link to my post on Facebook where others have commented about incidents with dogs off leads:
