This article shows precisely why UK Breed Specific Legislation does not work. Contrary to popular belief, any breed of dog can attack, even those who are popular for “being good with children”. Likewise, Pittbull type dogs are often a popular service dog choice for those in the US, as far away from the illegal vicious beasts our media like to portray them as!
I thought I would just give those who aren’t convinced some food for thought:
- It is humans that make decisions to bring more dogs into the world
- It is humans that can make the effort to socialise their puppies
- It is humans that make choices whether to care about their dogs welfare
- It is humans that put little effort into training their dogs
- It is humans that abuse and neglect dogs
- It is humans that can choose to have a positive impact on children or vulnerable peoples welfare and ensure they are not placed into a dangerous situation, to supervise dogs actively and responsibly
- It is humans that make choices to ignore signs their dog is not happy and whether to ignore or do something about it
- It is humans that set up dog fighting rings and train dogs to go for other dogs
- It is humans that use or even steal other dogs for bait
- THE DOG HAS NO CHOICE IN THE ABOVE POINTS OR TO EVEN BE BORN…on the other hand, the human could make all the right choices- check out the Adventures of Zara Dog…an Exempted Pittbull Type dog here in the UK
I think it would be far more effective to have a dangerous humans act personally…
