Petition Increase punishments for owners in dog attacks

There should be greater penalties for owners of dangerous dogs that attack people. Increase maximum sentences for dangerous dogs offences to match those for assault and bodily harm where a knife or gun is used.

More details

Dog breeds are not to blame for attacks - it's the owners and dodgy breeders doing so for maximum profit.
