Hello PTers! Just thought maybe you guys could help me with something.
I have to do a position/proposal paper on a social issue for an english class, so I chose to do specific dog breed legislation. We were supposed to pick an issue that we were passionate about and could relate to. With my boyfriends pitbull, and my boxer Springen, I've gotten a few comments about their breeds I thought were uncalled for. The other day Springen and I were walking in the park and a lady sees us coming and picks up her yorkie and absolutely screams at her children to run away as Springen walks up, tail wagging. Anyways, thats how I can relate. I also thought I'd add the "trend" that certain dog breeds are bad, such as clothes going in and out of style. When my parents were young, it was the German Shepherd and the Rottweiler. Now it's the pitbull.
I certainly know my position on the issue, and I wondered if you guys could help me with certain laws made against specific dog breeds. If you know of any laws in your area against a dog breed (doesn't necessarily have to be against pit bulls), please post the law and your area (if you feel comfortable doing so).
I also have to write a proposal on how to solve the situation. One of my ideas was having greater punishment for animal abuse (specifically dog fighting), hopefully stopping the pit bulls rep as a "mean" animal. Any other ideas you guys may have?
Just thought I'd ask my fellow PTers whom many, I'm sure, are as passionate about the subject as I am. Thanks for the help guys.
