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:
We can't accept your petition because the treatment of seized dogs is the responsibility of the police and not the UK Government or Parliament.
You may be able to make a complaint about the police's treatment of Tyson to the Independent Office for Police Conduct. You can find out more about their work here:

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government or Parliament to pass a law setting the standards for the welfare of seized dogs if that is something you would like to see happen.
