Rejected petition Make dog licensing mandatory in UK
We want you create a system for making sure that every dog has a licence which has to be renewed every 1 or 2 years.
To obtain the licence you have to attend a vets who will do a welfare check on the dog and if it's satisfactory you will be issued with a code.
More details
Go to the website, insert your code, pay fee and license issued. Just like you do with your car tax and many other things nowadays.
This way the dog gets checked out and any concerns with the dog the vets have will be reported.
Abused dogs and fighting dogs will be segregated from our loving pets and they will get the help they need.
This will also hold the owners accountable for the actions of their dogs.
Things need to change. Rise up and save our dogs.
They don't have voice but you do.
