Ban the ‘No pets’ rule in all housing contracts and parks in Brighton & Hove

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

My dog is my guide, therapy and emotional support dog. EVERYONE should be allowed to have this support in their lives from a pet. EVERYONE should be allowed to let their dogs run free and socialise in parks.

Brighton is a multi cultural and modern city- so why can’t it be fully pet friendly to?
Parks are the only places I can let my dog loose as they are protected by fencing and gates. If I were to let my pup off the lead in an open space, I’d be too scared that he’d run away or get hit by a car. Dogs should be allowed to run free and socialise with other dogs in parks, and not constantly be on a lead, as that’s unfair on them.
