Consultation description
Defra聽sought views on a proposed package of measures aimed at tackling irresponsible ownership of dogs.聽The main proposals:
Extending the criminal offence of allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control to private property (where the dog has a right to be);
Compulsory microchipping of dogs;
Removing the need to seize and kennel all dogs where court proceeding are pending; and
Increase the fee for placing a dog on the Index of Exempted Dogs
The proposals, along with other work we are already carrying out, provide 聽a mix of preventative, educational and punitive measures which are designed to tackle a variety of problems (e.g. allowing dogs to become dangerous, status dogs, allowing dogs to stray and general irresponsible ownership leading to poor welfare and anti-social behaviour).
