Reclassify Dangerous Dogs Act to reflect exhibited behaviour instead of breed

Petition Details

Many harmless dogs are seized simply based on how they look; it will most likely be destroyed or at least lose all quality of life
Saying dogs who look a certain way are dangerous would be like saying a person who shares similar physical features to Jimmy Savile are a danger to children
