DDAWatch is a new initiative from the Pet Owners Parliament set up to help monitor "dangerous dog" legislation, to educate and assist those affected by it, while campaigning to find fair, workable solutions that can better protect the public without compromising the lives and welfare of countless dogs who have never acted dangerously.
The founding principles of DDAWatch are that no dog is inherently dangerous by virtue of its breed alone and that, by focusing on certain breeds or types of dogs instead of placing the emphasis of responsibility on the owners of dogs, we fail to target the real core of the issue. DDAWatch is set up to offer analysis and information on how the UK may better legislate against dangerous dog owners.
DDAWatch will monitor issues arising as a result of canine legislation, help educate the public on responsible dog ownership and campaign for legislation focused on the owners of dogs, regardless of the breed or type.
DDAWatch will help keep the general public aware of issues arising out of the legislation while building a better picture of the problems and campaigning for change.
DDAWatch can also offer assistance to owners if needed but emphasise that we are not qualified legal experts. Please use the contact us page if you need more information or assistance.
