If A Dangerous Dog Kills Another Dog They Should Be Destroyed
So I Want To Change The Dangerous Dog Act Because I Think If A Dog Kills Another Dog That It Should Be Put Down.
My Molly Was a 15 Week old Jackapoo Puppy That Was An Absolute Joy To Be Around, We Took Her For A Walk At Frensham Little Pond On 21/07/18 And She Was Attacked By A Dog That Got Un-muzzled. Molly Was Brutally Killed By This Dog She Didn't Even Stand A Chance. There Is Currently No Law Where If A Dog Kills Another Dog That It Should Be Destroyed. We Want To Have This Law Changed NOW. The Owner Should Take Full Responsibility And Have The Dog Destroyed Anyway.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It's already against the law for someone to allow a dog to be out of control in a public place. This could include allowing their dog to attack another animal. You can find out more about this here:
www.gov.uk/control-dog-public
The owner can get an unlimited fine or be sent to prison for up to 6 months (or both) if their dog is dangerously out of control. They may not be allowed to own a dog in the future and their dog may be destroyed.
You can find out how to report a dog here:
www.gov.uk/control-dog-public/report-a-dog
We're therefore not sure what additional action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
