I am wanting dog stealing to decrease or in a perfect world to stop!

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I want a law to come into place to decrease or potentially stop dog thefts. The law that I want to change is the price of dogs. A price on a dog shouldn’t go higher just because of it’s breed. All dog breeds should be sold no higher than £500 regardless of what dog it is.

To have a maximum price on all dog breed to be sold no more than £500! Why are different dog breeds better than others? Why should it cost a ridiculous amount to give a dog a loving home! Personally all dogs should be treat equally and not have a ridiculous price on certain breeds. This will decrease people from stealing dogs and or to breed them. This will decrease people to stop breeding their dogs for a lot of money. All dog lovers will agree! Keep all dogs safe and protected!

Why it was rejected
