Reintroduce dog licensing for breeders and owners

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

This petition is for the reintroduction of annual license laws for dogs, with the aim of having every dog owner holding a license for every dog they currently own, plus new owners having a license in place before a dog is introduced into their home.

The benefits would include:
- reducing the amount of unsuitable owners bringing unfavoured publicity on certain breeds.
- reducing the amount of dogs being surrendered to shelters or turned loose to fend for themselves
- assisting the police and RSPCA in prosecuting owners of dangerous dogs or owners guilty of animal neglect/cruelty.
