Make it a legal requirement to register pets

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Horrendous stories of PETS BEING STOLEN.
Our parents are scared to go out alone.
The law doesn't go far enough, tougher penalties for these who are caught.
Micro chipping our pets no longer gives us protection as I'v heard of horrendous stories of these being removed by the gangs.
✅ A massive petition so the government have to change current laws, tougher penalties

✅ Maybe our pets should have be registered ( like our cars ) you can't sell or buy a pet without them. This information controlled on a data base.

✅ Every pet owner to pay for registration to fund above.

✅ Dog wardens driving round our streets to ensure any vans seen can be caught quicker..

I dont know the answer but its time to act.
