Re: Dog Owner Suitability Test Proposal

The KC?

Interesting. You'd trust the KC more than the Government?

Don't know if you read this article relating to the KC and BSL

Want to Send a Dog to Its Death? Get ‘Qualified’ to do so in 240 Minutes

Ultimately if we can't trust the Govt which is DEFRA to enforce and implement dog laws, we're in trouble.

Did you know the KC supported the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act which introduced BSL in the first place?

The issue is this. The Govt takes advice from certain organisations such as the RSPCA, the KC etc. Unfortunately, those organisations are not elected, don't represent the 'average' dog owner and in all honesty, are not set up to be law makers - hence we have bad dog laws which they now distance themselves from.

Which is why I have proposed the Pet Owner's Parliament which aims to get many thousands of UK dog owners to have their say and offer their experience and feedback on dog related laws. Dog owners have no representation and I certainly would not let the KC represent me as an owner.
