What is your opinion on BSL2007-11-25 2:53:23

A better answer to the bite problem is to enact non-breed specific dangerous dog laws and EDUCATE the public. By educating children how to behave around dogs (not running and screaming, don't ever approach a dog without the owner's permission, etc) and teaching dog owners the importance of socialization, containment, and training will go much further than just "getting rid" of the breeds commonly percieved as being the problem. Stricter enforcement of leash laws already on the book along with more severe penalties for the owners of dogs who cause serious injury will put the responsibility back where it belongs...squarely on the shoulders of the irresponsible OWNERS.

thanks for the website Britnee, it makes the BSL not sound so bad really.

i mean, imagine to horrific idea of keeping your dog in an enclosure, or on a leash!

I will say it till i am blue in the face, as an owner of a pit bull mix, i must be alert to my dogs body language at all times. you are stupid if you think your pit bull is the same as a stereotypical Labrador retriever or a basset hound. they are not in the same class, they do not think the same way.

I don't agree with BSL. Like most of the people above I feel it is an owner problem not a breed problem. I can't even imagine why they would put Huskies on this list. I have two and they are the sweetest, gentlest dogs I've met. I've met some great pits too.
