This petition is to try to enforce legislation dealing with dog on dog atatcks.
I am taking this course of action as my dog was recently attacked by a dog off the lead, where the owner had let it wander off, and it attacked my dog, who was on it's lead, and seriously injured him.
Dog on dog attacks incur no prosecution, unless private action is taken.
The innocent victim has to incur all the cost and upset of these attacks.
The police will not get involved.
The irresponsible few make life a misery for the responsible dog owners out there.
I believe that all dogs should be kept on leads at all times in public streets. If dog owners want to walk their dogs off leads, there are fields and parks where they can do so.
Please sign this petition so that dog walking can become a pleasure again.
I am still reading the messages you have left about your own painful experiences with off-lead dogs. These stories prove that my situation is far from an isolated incident. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to ensure they understand that our current laws fail to protect the victims of these encounters.
June 4, 2008
Seeing this kind of momentum brings some peace to a situation that has felt so heavy since my dog was attacked. It is clear that I am not the only person tired of feeling vulnerable while simply trying to walk my dog down the street.

So scary walking my dog now. People are so irresponsible letting their dogs run wild in public spaces.

Totally agree. Sick of these people who think their dog is fine to roam around off the lead when they have zero recall. Keep them on a lead. Simple.

THIS. My golden retriever is terrified of other dogs now because she was jumped on by a massive bull breed off its leash. Needs to change now.

My dog got attacked last month and the owner just walked off like nothing happened. Its not fair that I have to pay the vet bills when it wasnt my dog who started it.

The law is a joke. If your dog causes damage you should pay for it. Plain and simple.

About time something was done. Owners need to be held accountable for their pets behavior.
