what is your opinion on BSL?

Question

ok, there's this thing called BSL (aka breed-specific legislation) and it pretty much says that some dogs are illegal, so you have to follow some rules or put your dog down. To read more info on it go to http://www.dogplay.com/Articles/MyArticles/pitbull.html and skim through what they say and tell me your opinion.

REMEMBER!!!! chihuahuas are known to bite more than any other dog breed, and they aren't part of this legislation. while pitbulls just like playing around, but they're the first on the list for this legislation.

Answer 1

The guy with the pit bulls must have been very disappointed. No one buys pit bulls because they want a sweet loving dogie. In an adjoining county, three pit bulls charged into a woman's yard and chewed her until her body looked more like hamburger than a human being.

Answer 2

BSL is pretty much hogwash. You can train a freakin poodle to be mean and attack. It has little to do with the dog. I know a boxer who is almost two years old, and the only harm he's EVER done is to lick my makeup off.

I'm a cat person, but I'm smart enough to know that dogs, as dogs, regardless of breed, are susceptible to training. If you train a young dog to be mean, they will be. If you train them with love and caring, they will be good dogs. I worked with a guy who had Pit Bulls, the "demon-dog" of the south, from what everyone says. His weren't. They were sweet, loving, goofy clowns with dogfur. I personally owned a Doberman Pinscher years ago. Same story, just a big, goofy dog. It is entirely in the training of the dog.
