Petition Action

Require collaboration between social services and animal welfare to protect dogs

Petition Details

We think steps should be taken to ensure animal safety alongside that of vulnerable children. We think legislation should require collaboration between social services and animal welfare organizations, especially if a home is found to be unsafe for children.

Additional Information

We think a qualified animal welfare officer should assess the situation for any domestic pets. The officer could then arrange for temporary fostering or rehoming if the living condition is considered unsuitable, which could prevent unnecessary suffering and tragic outcomes.
