The petition also calls for owners to be held responsible for their pets' actions.
It follows an attack on a dog at Mr Rees-Mogg's constituency home in West Harptree, Somerset. Dozer, a labrador belonging to the Tory MP's housekeper, Deborah Bowler, almost died following the 25-minute attack by ten dogs that had jumped over the wall.
