Campaign to Change the Law on Dogs

The Sun has launched a petition and campaign to change the law on dogs in line with the RSPCA's demands.

The paper says it's time to stop demonising dogs and instead hold owners accountable for their pet's behaviour - the campaign is very clear in its demands:

· make every dog's owner accountable for its actions

· microchip every dog

· have one national dog registration system

· prevent cruelty and attacks by giving police and dog wardens power to issue warnings when people aren't doing the right things for and with their dog

The full story, which includes an open letter by Gavin Grant (RSPCA chief executive) can be found at:

The campaign is also supported by an e-petition which members are encouraged to sign, the petition can be found at:
