Ian Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just wondered whether you'd seen this & what DNB make of it? I'm not convinced personally that petitioning for change rather than repeal & replacement of the DDA doesn't add credence to the idea that there should be such an act http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/DDAChanges/#detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melp Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I will never agree with Section 1 of the DDA however, while we do have it, it should be made easier and less stressful for owners and dogs, to apply for exemption. So in that case, I don't disagree with the petitioners request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpole Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 i fear that very soon we are all going to have rather a lot to worry about but in the meantime my view is that section one should be repealed and irresponsible owners of all breeds made to face their responsibilities, though i doubt any government or potential government would even contemplate such a thing especially with an election coming up. making it easier for people unwittingly caught up in the act to ensure their dogs are allowed to live is something we need to see happen in the interests of animal welfare without it being seen as condoning the acts existance.

lester Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 When will we get some action on the growing theft of dogs for dog fighting? More Asbos for dog dancers? This is a serious attack from the dog haters ; whe should make a bigger stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) A better petition in my opinion - calling, as Rumpole has suggested above for the repeal of the 1991 BSL http://petitions.num.../DDARepeal1991/ Edited March 14, 2010 by Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
