This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Introduce tougher laws for unethical dog breeders and owners of dangerous dogs
Introduce stricter legislation and ensure breeders are fully licensed and registered with a governing body. Bring in tougher sentences for those 'backyard breeders' who aren't registered and licensed
Ensure tougher sentences and penalties for those with dogs not under control
More details
In light of recent tragic events surrounding the xl bully - simply banning the breed isn't good enough
The breeding of dogs needs to face stricter regulations and those with out of control dogs need to face harsher sentences
Without any firmer legislation this will continue to happen and there WILL be another modified breed in years to come
The XL Bully along with the pit bull before hand is such a brilliant family dog with the correct breeding/ownership
