Milestones

We think the government should review whether the police should use tranquiliser guns instead of real guns when dealing with dogs they think are a danger. We believe that the police need to be better trained in dog behaviour and learn to take time to assess a situation before acting on it.

We think there have been xl bully's or other dogs shot and killed in front of there family's because of the lack of understanding of there behaviour and temperament instead of looking into a situation before acting. We think the repercussions of this mean an innocent dog may be shot and killed for being a loving kind big softie, that has a family that will forever will have there heart broken because of a gun instead of a tranquiliser. We think this review would give time to look into what could save a innocent life so please please save our dogs.
