Closed petition Bring back a Dog Licence
Closed on
We believe the current debate on specific dog breeds and the demands to ban and destroy them is wrong. We believe the issue is not dogs, but incapable and dangerous owners.
A return to a dog licence scheme would ensure not just anyone can own a dog and these could be removed for those who commit cruelty, neglect or put the public in dangerous situations. To own a dog of certain breeds (XL Bully etc) would require extensive training for a license to be approved.
