Make it illegal to destroy any healthy dog!

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Approximately 2,200 healthy stray dogs were put to sleep last year. Many because no owner or alternative could be found.

All dogs deserve a happy life free from the threat of being destroyed just because their owners couldnt or wouldn't provide a forever home for them.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Fully prohibit the euthanasia of healthy animals who are not a threat to humans.
