Scrap ban on dog breeds, regulate dog owners and ban euthanasia of healthy dogs

Closed 874 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe that breed specific legislation doesn't work and goes against expert advice. I want a new law in honour of my bull breed service dog who passed away, who I would not have been here today without.
We need to repeal the XL bully ban and current breed specific laws and create a new law to protect ALL dogs and ensure public safety.

As part of "Nubia's law" I wish the government to make it mandatory for ALL owners of ANY breed of dog to have a license, the dog must also be chipped, insured and have a yearly vets visit and attend a mandatory 10 week socialisation and basic training. As part of this law I also call for ALL a ban of euthanising healthy dogs. This would also ensure tenants with dogs that are currently banned couldn't be evicted for this.
