Abolish breed-specific legislation and prevent innocent dogs from being destroyed Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/abolish-breed-specific-legislation-and-prevent-innocent-dogs-from-being-destroyed.html Online petition signatures en-us Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:49 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Joycelyn Webster [Signature #2327] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12693334?utm_medium=rss Breed specific legislation has been shown in numerous other countries to be ineffective in preventing dog attacks. I would like to see an informed approach, involving education rather than a knee jerk legislative approach that leads to innocent dogs being killed without due cause. The simple reality is that ANY dog can cause injury under certain circumstances and to condone destroying a whole breed of dogs because of some tainted media hysteria is beyond unreasonable.

A prejudice, biased & generic checklist filled in by unqualified animal control officers in which dogs & owners wear the label of something they are not & the onus is on the owner to prove councils & bullying AMO's wrong. In what democratic world can that be considered fair.
