Organisations Welcome Government Consultation
Caroline Kisko said "it is essential that any new legislation is properly considered and puts greater emphasis on animal welfare".
Both the Kennel Club and the Dogs Trust have welcomed government plans to review current dangerous dogs legislation in the UK.

Communications Director of the Kennel Club Caroline Kisko said “The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 is a kneejerk piece of legislation which was rushed through in haste. It has not reduced the number of pit bull terriers in this country, nor has it reduced the number of dog biting attacks while it has had a huge impact on the welfare of many dogs.

It is essential that any new legislation is properly considered and puts greater emphasis on animal welfare whilst better protecting the public. The Kennel Club welcomes this review and we hope that any future government will look at this pressing issue as soon as possible after this year’s election”.
