Fight Breed Specific Legislation
Breed specific legislation is not just about one particular breed that you don't care about. It is about your dog. Oh sure, they may not have named your dog, yet. But they will. Already cities and counties are preparing to regulate not by breed, but by weight. And insurance companies can and will use those actions to deny insurance to people who share their lives with dogs that may look similar to a targeted breed. |

Fatal Dog Attacks by Karen Delise

Dog Play supports efforts to fight breed specific legislation. Regulating by breed only increases the number of regulated breeds. What scares me is the number of people ignoring the risks of breed specific legislation. Many of these people are ignorantly oblivious that their breed is also at risk. Do you have a Border Collie, or a dog that might be mistaken for a mix of a Border Collie? Your dog is at risk. German Shepherd? Your dog is at high risk. Husky, Malamute or Boxer? High risk of bans and restrictions. Many of these dogs are at risk merely because they are both large and numerous. And large numbers means more incidents. Plastic bags represent a greater risk of death than the family dog. What does need to happen is better attention to following the laws we have. When it becomes more clear that having a dog is a responsibility, not an after thought, then fewer incidents will occur.
