Make not walking your dog an animal cruelty issue
Not walking and socialising dogs is a huge issue. They can get aggressive, have to be hidden away from all visitors, especially children. It's also cruel and stressful for the dog.
If the government help with this, it will lessen dog attacks.
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:
In 2018, the Government published a code of practice for the welfare of dogs which sets out practical guidance to help dog owners' comply with the provisions of Section 9 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006. The code contains information on exercising and socialisation. You can find out more about the guidance here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/code-of-practice-for-the-welfare-of-dogs
Compliance with the code can be taken into account when considering animal welfare offences. The government also has powers under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 to introduce regulations for “promoting the welfare of animals”.
