Licence all large breeds in Scotland including XL bullies

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

that each dog is cared for responsibly by its owner. It would also offer an opportunity to educate owners about their responsibilities towards their pets - something that is currently lacking. Each owner would pay for a licence

This isn't just about controlling numbers or generating revenue; it's about ensuring the welfare of our beloved canine companions. Let's make sure every large breed dog in Scotland has a responsible owner who understands their needs and is prepared to care for them properly.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
