There's been one report of a dog being stolen. O.K. I accept that there may be more.
With all your proposal Corrupt, I can't see a big reduction in stolen dogs
If you wanted the proposed legislation for better control of people who owned dogs then I can see your reasons. I dare say it would be as effective as the legislation on wearing seatbelts and using mobiles whilst driving. You see those on a daily basis.
I have a dog and would comply with any legislation attached to owning that dog. Problem is I'm law abiding and criminals are not, so would not comply.
