Government to over turn the ban of XL bully breeds from the end of this year.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the ban of XL bully breed dogs and instead, put more severe punishment in place for irresponsible dog owners of fines or dogs being taken from their care, if they don't comply with fines or reports from RSPCA.
The ban needs to stop.

There is no such thing of a bad dog but BAD OWNERS.

It is cruel for all XL bully breed dogs to be banned on the few cases that have made it's way into the media recently, for killing or injurying the public.

More severe punishment is needed for bad dog owners of fines or the correct dog training is needed for bad dog owners to keep their dogs under control, when in public or at home.
