The current ban on XL Bully dogs is not only discriminatory towards a specific breed, but it also fails to address the root of the problem - irresponsible dog ownership. This petition calls for the repeal of this ban and proposes instead a tiered licensing system for all dog owners. Such a system would ensure that potential owners are adequately prepared and capable of caring for their pets, regardless of breed. It is crucial to implement this change promptly to prevent another breed from becoming the new "status" dog in irresponsible hands. According to data from animal welfare organizations, breed-specific legislation has proven ineffective in reducing incidents related to dogs. Instead, comprehensive education and responsible pet ownership have shown significantly more promising results. This ban is going to create more problems with antisocial and aggressive and destructive behaviour in these dogs due to the lack of enrichment, exercise and socialisation they need. Remember how you felt in lockdown? Two of the five basic animal freedoms removed. Sign this petition today if you believe in fair laws that protect all breeds while promoting responsible pet ownership.
