Bsl- Why?

[bulldogz4eva]

The point I am making Robbi is that many people don't understand where a breeds potential danger is at when part of a community and not everyone will raise these types of dogs to ensure public saftey. It's an illusion to believe that the Pitbull has no more propensity to aggression than any other breed because they do have a far greater ability than most breeds to become dangerous in the wrong hands as they are wired genetically different in their fighting triggers to cause higher levels of injury and destruction.

Dogs attacking under the stress of defence drive fight to eliminate their stress and will retreat once the stress is reduced. Dog's attacking under fighting drive which occurs with the Pitbull and other BSL listed breeds, fight because they enjoy the fighting challenge which is a genetic trait. Guardian breeds like the GSD, Rottweiler, Belgian Shephered, Doberman etc, takes the right dog with intense training to extract half the fighting drive that comes naturally with the BSL breeds is where the issue lays in relation to why some breeds are considered of a more dangerous potential than others.

There are more valid reasons for why some breeds feature under BSL listings than a government's desire to ruin the opportunity of owning your preferred breed and killing peoples pets is what I am referring to.

Nev if all pitbulls were of the old school fighting lines then yep i'd agree, but it just isn't the case. I don't think that there is enough of these types of pits about.

To think that a politician has sat down and thought of the things you've just mentioned is most unlikely, If you look at how the breed has changed over the last 20 years it's massive, all the fighting fairytayles are fading away and good people are owning these dogs.

For the idiots that have them, the risk to the public is no greater should they own any other breed as they're just as likely to treat any other animal the same, as mentioned by someone else there are plenty of other breeds more capable of hurting someone than a pitbull.

I just think we should get away from the extremes of what people perceive a pitbull is capable of because it's not the norm.

Those are valid points Geo.Unless people are game breeding dogs for those traits they wont get them and as dog fighting in this country is miniscule in comparison to other places I agree with you.Most are just family pets but it is their history and the irresponsible that keep dragging them back down.

I live in hope that one day the governemnt will wake up to itself but i think it is more dreaming than anything.The next time a child dies(I shudder to think about it) and it is another breed,instead of getting tough on owners where the responsibility lies they will just add another breed to the list as its easier than having to actually think.

Well it seems the GCCC have made a balls up of their policies, re: amstaff=pitbull, where amstaffs have been genetically id'd for proof of pure breed by the AKNC for quite some time and they have a large number of DNA profiles to match, the door is well and truly open for people to prove their dog isn't an amstaff via DNA profiling, hence proving it is not a pitbull,....

Why are the governments doing this?

Because It makes them feel good killing Innocent dogs, that's all It Is at the end of the

day a mass slaughter of thousands and thousands of dogs who are not guilty of anything other than what breed they were born

and brainwashing society Into thinking It Is now a safer place

Agree 100%
