What the petition asks
1,000s of wrongly accused dogs are being destroyed each year because of an Act that judges dogs on appearance and not temperament.
Adding Staffordshire Bull Terriers to the Dangerous Dogs Act was debated and dismissed. The UK government has no intentions on adding them to the list.
