Breed Specific Legislation (BSL)
March 13th 2009 14:08
To tell you the truth, my dogs have never done anything wrong to you, your friends, or your family, so why persecute them for something an ignorant person trained his dogs to do?
Many of you may think that, it isn't the point of whether the dog has done anything wrong in the past, it's whether or not the dog will do something wrong in the future... Well, it's all in proper training, socialization, and overall care and love. Dogs will typically do what they are trained to do, so why condemn the innocent when the guilty are our own kind, not our canine companions...
Breed Specific Legislation, or just BSL, has been implemented in a number of counties in the United States as well as a number of countries across the board, but if the officials looked at the reports, dog bites and attacks have not decreased in these areas... There are other breeds biting and attacking besides those "bully breed" and "dangerous dogs."
You can find a few examples of places who have had dog bans implemented for years and have not seen a drastic change in attacks, by checking out
The article above also has listed problems associated with BSL and alternatives that will actually make a difference in dog attacks, as well as a list of dog breeds who have at one time or another been grouped in the breed bans.
My dogs haven't done anything wrong to you, so why would you want to do something wrong to them?
It's not the dog, it's the people in control of the dog. Make laws and regulations strict for the people in order to see a long term difference. By just cutting out the breeds, there will only be a short term change, nothing long term, as seen by the reports drawn from countries and areas who have had breed bans implemented for years.
