Pickney & Kennedy, Traumatic Deaths from Dog Attacks in the United States, 69 PEDIATRICS, Feb., 1982, at 193-194. The report identified the following dog breeds as responsible for human fatalities during the study period from May, 1975 to April, 1980: German Shepherd (16); Husky (9); Saint Bernard (8); Bull Terrier (6), Great Dane (6); Malamute (5); Golden Retriever (3); Boxer (2); Dachshund (2); Doberman Pinscher (2); Collie (2); Rottweiler (1); Basenji (1); Chow-Chow (1); Labrador Retriever (1); Yorkshire Terrier (1); mixed and unknown breeds (15). Cited in Marmer, supra at n. 62.
Biggest bunch of bullshit I have ever heard.
Hopefully the US will have something intelligent to say one day.
Although I highly doubt it.
“In 1984, a New Mexico town completely banned pit bulls and allowed county officers to confiscate and euthanize the dogs.”
Yet again more people who don’t want to take responsibility for something that they created.
“one breed of dog has been singled out as “inherently dangerous to society,” regardless of the individual dogs’ present or past behavior.”
So does that mean we can single out black people now because they look dangerous and have a high crime rate? OH NO that’s being racist. Go ahead and be a crack dealer, the US is more worried about doing away with a dog that they bred to fight (although between the kisses and wagging tail you would never guess) and don’t want to deal with the outcome. Oh wait this sounds familiar to just about everything the US does.
“Brittany Wallman, House Advances Bill Allowing Broward Cities to Ban Dog Breeds, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL, Mar. 21, 2001”
^I hope you die.
“In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a legislative committee is considering a bill that would allow Broward County locales to ban specific breeds of dogs from public areas”
I still don’t understand why its okay to do this to animals but not black/asian/jews/PEOPLE.
“
The American Kennel Club (AKC) strongly supports dangerous dog control. Dog control legislation must be reasonable, non-discriminatory and enforceable as detailed in the AKC Position Statement.
To provide communities with the most effective dangerous dog control possible, laws must not be breed specific. Instead of holding all dog owners accountable for their behavior, breed specific laws place restrictions only on the owners of certain breeds of dogs. If specific breeds are banned, owners of these breeds intent on using their dogs for malicious purposes, such as dog fighting or criminal activities, will simply change to another breed of dog and continue to jeopardize public safety.
Strongly enforced dog control laws such as leash laws, generic guidelines for dealing with dangerous dogs and increased public education efforts to promote responsible dog ownership are all positive ways to protect communities from dangerous dogs. Increasing public education efforts is significant because it helps address the root cause of the problem —- irresponsible dog owners.
The AKC and the purebred dog fancy have worked together to promote non-breed specific dangerous dog control legislation throughout the country. Concerned dog lovers are encouraged to serve on or start animal control advisory boards to monitor problems and help develop reasonable solutions to dangerous dog issues. The AKC can help by providing model legislation that can be tailored to the needs of individual communities.”
This may be true, but what about all the owners who own a pitbull and their insurance company deems their dog to be “dangerous” even if it was an accident and the owners of the dog have never had anything happen but they get tagged with huuuuge insurance bills and can’t pay for it so they have to give up their dog to a pound who will put them down? HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT WORK?
“Although BSL has focused on a few breeds such as pit bulls, Rottweilers, and chows, statistics show that serious attacks have been inflicted by a variety of dog breeds, including many which have not been subject to BSL. In addition, opponents of BSL have pointed out that those in charge of law enforcement do not always accurately identify breeds, and that the imposition of penalties on dogs and their owners merely as a result of breed identification can be unjust and arbitrary.”
So is it really the DOGS that should be at fault? Or ignorant people? Hmm…
One organization that opposes BSL, the Ohio Valley Dog Owners (OVDO), suggests several reasons why breed-specific ordinances are an ineffective method for regulating dangerous dogs and protecting the public:17
Dog control problems are people problems, and are not limited to a breed or mix.
Banning a breed or declaring it inherently vicious punishes those responsible dog owners who are the type of citizens that communities need to keep, not drive away.
Communities that have instituted such bans often find that the irresponsible owners and the criminals who use dogs for illegal purposes simply switch to another breed.
Banning a breed or particular mix of breeds punishes those dogs that are reliable community citizens, therapy dogs, assistance dogs for handicapped owners, search and rescue dogs, drug-sniffing dogs, police dogs, etc., and drives them out of the community.
Breeds and mixes are often difficult to identify.
The “pit bull” is a type of dog bred for fighting, not a specific breed.
Passage of laws that are only enforced on complaint cause two problems: they create disrespect for the law if the authorities require compliance only upon complaint, and they provide ammunition for neighborhood feuds.
Finally, some intelligence.
“North Little Rock, Arkansas has restricted ownership of Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, or Bull Terriers or mixes thereof by implementing a breed-specific licensure fee of $500.00 - far more than license fees for other breeds.”
HYPOCRITICAL MUCH? Hahahaha. Stupid fucks.
Alright I’m done with my rant for now.
