What the petition asks
It has become apparent with recent tragic events the current system does not stop or decrease dog bites and hospitalisation . I feel education in dog handling and bite prevention is a key area in tackling dog bites as the largest demographic is young children , many bites can be prevented.
Bite statistics rise every year . Far too much blame is put on the breed of dog luring many owners of other breeds into a false sense of security . Many of the worlds top trainers and behaviourists such as victoria stillwell , jo rosie , nando brown , cesar millan all disagree with breed specific legislation and promote bite prevention , education and responsible dog ownership. Nearly all dog bites are preventable .
Lets teach our children how to be safe around dogs!
