We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to oppose the addition of any breed or breed type to Section One of the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991, to oppose any amendments to the Act which call for the restriction of any breed or type (for instance, muzzling in public) and to oppose any Amnesty which does not run in-line with the 1997 Amendment, which may allow some owners to keep their dogs by having them entered on the Register of Exempt Dogs.

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.
