How many people know what the BSL Law/Ban is?
Better question, how many people care?
Recommended for you
This law, as a quick sum up of it, will now ban pit bull, staffordshire terriers, staffordshire bull terriers, or any breed of dog that has a mix of these breeds in it.
So now you ask well what about the people who already own these animals?
These people must pay a fine/tax to keep their beloved dog, have it microchipped, muzzled, proper tags on its collar, and there are certain leash lengths it must be held at if you want to take it on a walk.
Well, what about these breeds that are living in a shelter waiting for their furever homes?
Those dogs that are these three breeds or have one of these three in the genes, will be euthanized. They will never find their furever homes because of this law.
So why would they pass such a horrible law?
They passed this law because of fear, fear of their “large heads.” There were too many people who feared these breeds because these three breeds: pit bulls, staffordshire terriers, staffordshire bull terriers, are all used for dog fighting and are used as defense dogs to scare away unwanted people on private properties.
People need to remember that dogs are trained to be aggressive by their owners and not by how their genetics are evolving them.
Even though this law was passed in Montreal it can still be passed in the United States. Which means the many of places that do pit bull rescues will be shut down because all of those dogs will be euthanized.
