Making dog on dog attacks illegal
I have seen many posts through friends and social media which show the damage a dog can do. Whether it be to a person or another dog, I believe a dog that will attack should be assessed immediately and relevant action taken. It should not be ignored just because it's 'only happened to a dog'.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It's not clear how you would like the law to be changed. If you would like the law to be changed to create a new criminal offence, which would apply to the owner or keeper of a dog if it attacks another dog, you could start a petition about that.
You can read about some of the existing offences here:
