Petition Create a dog ownership licencing scheme

The enforcement of a dog licence requirement would give new dog owners the opportunity to attend government led courses on the proper care and legal obligation of dog ownership.
A scheme of this type would allow responsible dog owners to learn the best way to care for their family pet.

More details

Dog ownership licences could be revoked upon a dog being mistreated or dangerous.
Responsible dog owners would likely not hesitate to attend mandetory courses and a dog licence would discourage irresponsible or criminal dog ownership.
A licencing scheme of this type would give the RSPCA and authorities more powers to enforce animal cruelty or dangerous dog legislation.
Any fee charged for a licence could be used towards organising education and enforcing animal rescue operation and care.
