What if they didn't exist?

[caseysmom]

Casey is a mix of I don't know what but she looks like she could have pittie in her, she is a total wimp. Bubba is half shitzu half poodle and he is more viscious, you never hear about the smaller dogs and what they do but I am sure they are just as aggressive.

[Roxyluvsme13]

ALOT of small dogs, can be ALOT more agressive than the breeds listed YOU dont see people banning them, because of that do you?

[Pit Chick]

I don't condone breed specific legistlation and I have a soft spot in my heart for pit bulls, however I do agree with the spay/neuter approach that california is taking, I wish it were the same for all breeds.

I agree with the S/N part also and also wish it was for all breeds then there wouldn't be a bunch of people breeding and creating more unstable dogs and therefore less dog attacks by any breed.

[sammy101]

ugh thats so stupid. We should all move somewhere where we wouldnt have to worry about this B.S!
i havent heard of a Bull Terrier attack,ever.Has there been one recently,or are they just banning them just because they are related to a pit? Those poor owners in Cali

[Suki Wingy]

Wait, BULL TERRIER IS ON THAT LIST???! This is so depressing!
I want to make bandannas that say something like "We support CA's strike/ boycott against BSL!"

[Lady's Human]

I've said this before, I'll say it again. As long as people continue voting for politicians who don't use logic and thought and just pander to special interests we will continue to have things like BSL, regardless of how destructive and pointless it is.

[new mom to a veiled]

I'm sorry I cant do much from here, but I think this is a shame Ottawa passed legislation on pitties....IT SUCKS

[caseysmom]

They are not banning pit bulls or other breeds they are saying they have to be spayed or neutered unless you are a licensed breeder. I think this is long overdue but for all dogs. This will protect pitties from byb's.

"Participate in searches (unless a child's life is in danger)

Engage in scheduled therapy visits"

thats honestly ridiculous.

in my hubbys 22 years of work and thousands of dogs he runs across every single day in peoples homes, he's only been bitten once - by a 9 year old yorkie.

absolutely ridiculous what's going on now with the anti-"DANGEROUS" dog sentiments..there are NO bad dogs...only BAD owners.

all dogs ever want is a loving family ..they don't ask for anything, and they give you unconditional , undying devotion and love for you.

my friend's pitbull and my akita, two of the so called "dangerous dog" breeds both met each other at petco and when they first saw each other started playing and licking each other. NO growling, no biting, no aggresive behavior at all..the dogs loved each other, and played very friendly, people at store were shocked. my friend's pitbull was even rolling on his back and my dog was licking his face!!

and what kind of an owner leaves all those dogs unsupervised..as a responsible dog owner,you need to know if your breed can get along with other dogs..some breeds have to be the alpha , and will not tolerate any funny business, and may attack if another dog does not defer

and as far as guard dogs go...humans have trained dogs for thousands of years to help do their work...akitas have been trained as guard dogs, hunting dogs, and fighting dogs...well, when they guard/hunt/fight, now all of a sudden they're not supposed to do what humans have trained them to do?...some owners really are just terrible

[luvofallhorses]

If they didn't exist, I'd go crazy. I hate BSL! My soul dog (Jenny) is a rottie mix and I can't live without her.

Actually not because someone could start off playing good to get a lisence then start breeding all of their dogs. Also, what would happen to owner handlers? That would ruine our sport.

[cali]

a stand needs to be taken for sure, the list just keeps growing larger, last I check over 90 breeds were banned in italy, including-collies, border collies, corgies... one look at italy and you have proof that BSL snowballs, if you ban 1 breed for a single dog attack that you would have to do the same with ALL breeds, we would have more dogs

[wolfie]

I think BSL is awful, but I don't know how I feel about this "protest"...

I mean, how is not going to a dog show going to do anything (except help the competition)?
