Breed-specific legislation (BSL), is any law, ordinance or policy which pertains to a specific dog breed or breeds, but does not affect any others. The term is most commonly used to refer to legal restrictions or prohibitions on the breeding and ownership of certain breeds. Restrictions on or the prohibition of ownership of American Pit Bull Terriers in some cities. Restrictions on the availability of homeowners insurance for owners of many breeds, including American Pit Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Akitas and Boxers to name a few. The CDC (Center for Disease Control)has compiled their own list of “The 10 Most Dangerous Dogs List”. This list currently includes the following:
For your information, the Boxer and Presa Canario were eleventh and twelveth respectively. The statistics which appear to show a high rate of attacks due to alleged “pit bull-type dogs” are full of inaccuracy simply because any dog that can pass for a “pit bull” will be called a “pit bull” by the media under the guise of “if-it-bleeds-it-leads”,film at eleven,stay tuned! California BSL SB861 would permit individual cities in California to enact breed-specific laws of their own. Breed-specific laws are not the best way to protect communities. An irresponsible owner intent on using his or her dogs for malicious purposes will simply be able to switch to another type of dog and continue to jeopardize public safety. The list of regulated breeds or types could grow every year without ever addressing responsible dog ownership. Deeds, not breeds, should be addressed. The bottom line is that Breed-specific laws are unfair to responsible owners. |
