Coco’s legacy. licensing for breeding and ownership of dogs.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Bring in licensing for breeding and ownership of dogs.
We recently lost one of our rescues after being bred every season even though being a pup herself.
To better protect lives like Coco's and minimise such negligence, we need enhanced rules for dog ownership and breeding. Enforcing licensing regulations would ensure that only well-informed and responsible breeders can operate, thereby saving countless animal lives and reducing instances of inhumane treatment, over ran rescues and strays.
