Rejected petition Licence owners of high powered dogs, don’t blame a dog or seek to ban the breed

Owning a high powered dog is a responsibility and requires a long term duty of care both to the dog and to the community.

Owning a high powered motorcycle without the proper knowledge, training and commitment to responsibility is dangerous.
Motorcycles are not to blame and neither is the dog

More details

Instead of banning any breed.
a licence should be required to ensure that high powered dog owners are identified, grouped, and trained to a minimum legal standard.

This will allow for better education, the formation of a community of responsible owners, and the reduction of fear and unknown around then topic for society.

Accountability for owners, not the dogs living under their care.
