Protect our dogs. Prevent dog stealing and dog fighting

Dog stealing is getting out of hand
People are being beaten up whilst walking dogs and dogs snatched
Houses and outhouses/gardens broken into for express aim of stealing dogs
Police are reluctant to investigate despite the fact that dogs are family members.
Dog fighting rings are widespread and police seem unwilling or unable to act against them
The laws around owning dogs needs to be changed so that owners and dogs can be traced more effectively
The law needs to change so that dogs have to be chipped and that vets have to scan every dog when brought into practice for any reason
The punishment against people who steal dogs needs to be harsher
