Make it a legal requirement to hold a licence to own a dog of any breed.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Instead of banning numerous dog breeds throughout the UK.

Make it a legal requirement for anyone who is breeding, buying or selling a dog to hold a license.

Each individual should then be vetted to make sure their Current lifestyle is suited for the dog of their choice.

This I believe will reduce the amount of bad breeding, dog fighting and the re-homing of animals throughout the UK. As people will only be able to get a dog that is suited to their lifestyle. Instead of getting a dog and trying to mould it to fit in with their lifestyle.
