Do not require neutering/spaying of XL Bully dogs until age of 2

Closed 34 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe health risks and issues associated with spaying and neutering of young large bull breeds is too high to justify the demands set by the UK Government. There is evidence to suggest it can be high risk to neuter large dogs at a young age and we want current rules to be changed
Early years spaying and neutering can increase the risk of bones not forming correctly, cancer, behavioural issues and weight issues. I have personal experience with the negative side effects of this and do not wish to see anyone else or their beloved pet suffer too so I am calling on the UK Government to change current requirements immediately.
