Introduce a new law protecting dogs from dangerous out of control dogs

Petition Details

Attacks by dangerous out of control dogs may result in severe injuries for innocent pets and cause immense emotional & financial distress to owners. We think current legislation is insufficient. Introduce a new law to protect dogs from dangerous out of control dogs.

Additional Information

Scrap VCOs & introduce mandatory court enforced order with harsher penalties if breached. Require owners of aggressive dogs to register them, complete training and use muzzles. Harsher legal consequences e.g. penalties, dog ownership & breeding bans. Improve victim support & compensation for vet bills & emotional distress.
