What the petition asks
Brodies Law. Ban the breeding of dogs whose anatomy is so deformed that they suffer early death and ill health. Kennel club standards esp for brachiocephalic dogs causes immense suffering, but they will not change unless legally made to.Pls legally prevent such extreme features being bred for.
The kennel club standards have drastically changed the anatomy of dogs. Some like the brachiocephalic dogs cannot breathe, cannot cool themselves. Suffer terribly and die. Nothing has made the kennel club change, and climate change has increased the suffering. All animals need legal protection to stop extreme features being bred for.
