What the petition asks

STOP FALSE ARTICLES FROM BEING WRONGLY PUBLISHED AGAINST PITBULLS AND BULLBREEDS !! I saw an article today listing 4 attacks, a Collie, an Akita, Boxers and a greyhound...yet stick an image of a terrified bully on the headline!!This is not fair on responsible owners and something needs to be done!

So say a human attacks someone , would you go and stick a picture of a person who looks completely different to the attacker who commited the crime and publish it as if it was them? This is exactly what the Media are doing. It's barbaric and it's evil and the media need to be stopped from using images of the pitbull terrier for writing their stories!
People need to be educated on these breeds ,they do not need any more bad press than they already have , IT'S WRONG ,It's discrimination and we are offended!!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
