I never knew about the petitions on here - but we are attempting to get as many people to sign this petition to PREVENT normal home lovely pets being destroyed if this knee-jerk reaction comes into force. I would encourage anyone to sign it just to prove to the government they need to put some effort into researching the problem. Not just killing any dog they don't like. Believe me - this could be anything that even resembles a bull type.

Here's the link - http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/deedNOTbreed/#detail

"We, DEED NOT BREED, are a group of animal lovers, dog rescues and charities. We stand together against knee-jerk reactions to tragic recent events.

We oppose against Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) and Amnesties because we feel, since the inception of the DDA in 1991, it has been proven that BSL simply does not work.

If irresponsibly raised, trained and supervised, any dog - from pekinese to poodle to pit bull - is capable of causing harm. If any dog is truly dangerous, it's every owner who should bear sole responsible for the consequences of their lack of care. It's time to look to the other end of the lead."

Only just seen, but off to sign it now. Fully agree. If I didn't keep a close eye on my dog, he would attack a child given the opportunity. ( because he has been badly attacked by children and kicked about.) Now he is a lot better and trusts and gets on with some kids he has got to know, but I don't think he should ever suffer again, just because the person on the end of a lead (previous owner) was a ******
