What the petition asks
Dog theft is on the increase. A dog is not an object like the law considers them at the moment, the same as the treatment is different to how you would treat an object. The law needs to change in order to curb the increase in dog theft and the misery it brings to many.
Statistics suggest that 60 dogs are stolen every week. That's 60 to many.
