Bring licences for people to own specific breeds of animals.
Compulsory vet appointments for vets to ensure animals are being nurtured.
training to be compulsory for people to own specific breeds.
Compulsory vet appointments for vets to ensure animals are being nurtured.
training to be compulsory for people to own specific breeds.
I am passionate about animals & the well being of these.
Animals are like children, it’s the same science. A child needs love, attention, nurturing, rules etc. it’s the same with any type of dog - they need this type of care to grow into a loving family dog.
I want the government to do this because I feel that there currently is ‘let’s bypass the actual issue for an easier life’
