About the partnership
Along with the other DCC members, we agree that urgent action is needed to protect the public from out-of-control dogs. However, we remain disappointed that the Government has not taken the opportunity to completely overhaul the Dangerous Dogs Act.
The coalition believes that breed-specific legislation (BSL) is ineffective in protecting public safety and leads to the unnecessary suffering and euthanasia of many dogs. We collectively agree that BSL should be repealed, and that issues related to human safety and dog control should be addressed through interventions and effective legislative measures that do not compromise dog welfare.
We will continue to be an active member of the DCC, working together to challenge legislation that adversely impacts dogs while also striving for better measures to support dog owners and the wider public.
