What the petition asks
Form an animal welfare scheme of independent experts from animal welfare organisations, a behaviourist, and a vet to observe and inspect conditions of kennels where seized dogs are held.
Dogs have been returned home with serious health conditions, illnesses or underweight. We believe seized dogs are not being cared for in accordance with Section 9 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and Section 3 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006, because the kennels of seized dogs are not currently inspected by an independent team like the Animal Welfare Independent Visitors Scheme which is used for police dogs.
