This could help prevent unnecessary euthanasia of dogs. I am concerned about the fate of stray or abandoned exempted dogs and those seized under section 1. Under the current legislation they face euthanasia due to their banned breed status. By advocating for the rehoming of these dogs with responsible owners, my aim is to give these animals a chance at life in a loving home. I believe all dogs, regardless of breed, should be judged based on their individual behaviour and temperament, not unfairly discriminated against.
