Repeal the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, introduce new laws on penalties & education
We want the 1991 Act to be repealed and replaced with new legislation mandating education on dog ownership at a young age, and specifying harsher penalties for any owners mistreating their dogs or who fail to prevent their dogs acting dangerously out of control and harming the public.
