DDA Watch Focus Campaign:


Help us to keep up the pressure to repeal BSL.

DDA Watch encourages its supporters to write to their local MP and government ministers: you can help create awareness and support a change to breed neutral dog law.

Join DDA Watch's email and letter campaign and keep the issue of BSL in the mind of the policy makers and politicians, seek their views and opinion on breed specific legislation, keep raising the issue and ask them to respond to you.

Petitions are useful vehicles for conveying large-scale public opinion to governments and personal letters (and emails) are much needed.

You can write your own letter or use our template letters for ideas or in full - fill in the name and address of your local MP or government minister and send your letter to them direct.

Please keep correspondence polite and factual and remember to include your name and address so that your MP knows you are one of their constituents.

Your Member of Parliament (MP):

If you’re a dog owner in the UK the Dangerous Dogs Act applies to you in some way or another.

You can write your own letter or download our letter template, fill in the name and address of your local MP and send the letter to them direct.

It may also be possible to email your MP in which case please edit the letter appropriately and paste its content into an email.
