Require all dogs to wear a muzzle in public

What the petition asks
We want all dogs to have to wear a muzzle in public. Dogs of certain banned breeds - including XL Bully dogs - have to wear a muzzle, where they are allowed to be kept, but other dogs don't. This can leave muzzled dogs open to attack by dogs that don't have to wear muzzles.
We believe it's not fair for only certain dogs to have to wear muzzles, while others can roam free without a muzzle. Muzzled dogs - including XL Bully dogs - could be attacked by unmuzzled dogs, while they have to be muzzled.
