Rejected petition Modification of the Existing Anti-Dog Barking Procedure Campaign

Petition to the government of Northern Ireland

Every individual is entitled to peace and quiet. Yet this entitlement is, on a daily basis, continually being taken away. The existing method, through Enviromental Health, for dealing with incessant dog barking is wholly inadequate in three respects. The first, being the absence of 'anonymity' for the 'complainant'. The second, being the absence of an on-the-spot fine for the dog owner. The third, being the mismanagement of time in dealing with the problem. A quicker, more efficient and confidential system is needed in order to improve the quality of life for people who find themselves subject to incessant dog barking. Therefore,
WE THE UNDERSIGNED call upon the government of Northern Ireland to:
provide it's citizens with a more efficient method for dealing with incessant dog barking.
