Make dog attacks on cats a specific criminal offence

Petition Details

Where a cat is attacked or killed by a dog, often no action is taken. We want the Government to make dog attacks on cats a specific offence under the Dangerous Dogs Act, so it is taken seriously when reported. All pets deserve to be protected. Irresponsible dog owners should be punished.

Additional Information

Our cat was attacked and killed death in our own front garden by a dog that was off leash and not under the command of the owner. Our cat suffered multiple fractures and paralysis and died in agony. Current legislation does not adequately cover irresponsible dog owners who allow this to happen.
