City Council changes controversial vicious dog law

I think I would have felt better if it had said the law unfairly treats pit bull OWNERS.

TOLEDO -- Toledo's vicious dog law has been changed. City Council voted Tuesday to change the law which has been ruled unconstitutional because it unfairly targets pit bulls.

These changes include ending breed specific determinations. That means a dangerous dog will be defined by its behavior not its breed.

There will be bigger fines for dog bites, restrictions on how long a dog can be tied up outside, and reckless dog owners could have their pets seized.

Finally a bit of common sense in the BSL arena, there seems to be a slight move away from breed targeting in the USA and Europe, lets hope this sets a precedent and other councils/governments are brave enough to repeal their BSL legislations.

Way too late for thousands upon thousands of innocent dogs killed due to discrimination and hatred :laugh:
