Staffyluv Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That is an old story - back in December last year.. But it still makes my blood boil, destroying perfectly healthy dogs just because of what they think they look like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCamper Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Oh dear! That will teach me to double check dates. Yes I think that BSL is a bit out of hand I am not understanding how they think it works when it has been proven over and over that BSL does not work.

melzawelza Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Pretty horrendous situation in the UK. I just read this one today: Dog owners taking legal action after banned breeds are seized by police Meanwhile hospitalisations from dog attacks are up 50% since the Dangerous Dogs Act was implemented in 1991.

Oh doG that is horrible... I just can't comprehend how awful it would be to have someone come in and take my dog away and kill him (all because of what he looks like). I don't agree with BSL in any way shape or form but if you live in an area where it is legislated, you must do everything to abide by the law to keep your dog safe (or move to an area where it isn't legislated).. Owning a staffy cross of unknown parentage in NSW, it is my responsibility to make sure he has the correct registrations, training and socialising..

Jed Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Pups look like Heinz 57 varieties to me, I don't think they even have the same father. This legislation sucks. So cruel, so stupid. And, no, it hasn't reduced dog bites. Disarming the population would stop gun crimes, Mr. Howard said. Gun crime stats are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Why call it breed specific legislation if it isn't even breed specific? 'Prejudice against certain looks' legislation would be more apt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I'm calling it 'appearance specific legislation' a lot these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
