Prosecute dog owners whose dogs attack other dogs
Please legislate against dogs which attack other animals and not only if they attack people. A dangerous dog needs to be removed from society and the owner held accountable.
I have been attacked twice by dogs. Today my little dog was almost killed by a dog which had been left tied outside a shop. The attack was completely unprovoked and I have been left with a traumatised dog, large vet bill and the knowledge that absolutely nothing will be done to trace or make the owner accountable. This dog will attack another dog and I have no doubt a possible attack on a person or even worse a child.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions on whether to prosecute someone for an alleged offence are matters for the police and the Crown Prosecution Service, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You might like to sign this petition which calls for a very similar action:
