To change terms used in DDA1991. To properly follow section 2.(4) of dda1991
The terminology of section 1 (c) of the dda1991.
No dog is bred for fighting and no dog will fight because it looks a certain way. Any breed has the ability to be taught to fight and act dangerously, To deem a dog to be a fighting dog because of its looks dismisses the real issue the owner
Under section 2. (4) of the dda1991 meaning before any breed is added the consultation process is crucial for policymakers to gather diverse perspectives and expertise before making decisions that can impact both public safety and animal welfare. For any breed listed after the pitbull that was also unfairly discriminated against either consultation didn't take place or expert advice was ignored. This needs to change and so does the terminology of "dogs appeared to be bred for fighting"

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the Dangerous Dogs Act, and its application, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
