What the petition asks

The figures relating recent fatal dog attacks unjustifiably low to consider any specific breed being accountable for dangerous dogs in the U K a independent review would be fair to all uk pet dog owners especially those hundreds of thousands who currently competently & lawfully own bully’s
This will have a huge impact on dog owners given how many pet owners rely upon pet dogs for more reasons that the average person might expect one being those who purchase a pet dog in good faith for example a person who has a pet dog as a companion this may feel almost like an attack on a persons family member ensuring the public a open independent review will ensure the public safety and confidence that a frivolous campaign will not target pet owners under the banner of poor pet ownership
