labrador?????? boston terrier......


ooooh im scared of these!!!

i cant think of any that ARENT listed!

Alex
xx

Don't get it???

Labs? Danes? Boston Terrier??

Why restrict them?

Hang on.. Do you mean that some of the breeds listed are banned in some states? I know that Akitas aren't banned throughout the US. Also, what does restricted mean?

scary

but why? does it state the reasons for so many, especially the popular family breeds.

My question is the same....... do they give reasons why these breeds are banned or restricted?

and if you consider the word 'type', imagine the mahem.

Here is the rest of the post it may help explain things.
I couldn't understand the reasonong behind it either.


Is your dog on the list of banned or restricted breeds?

Here's the deal.......... .....







Media Frenzy Equals Breed Bans

And just who is pouring gasoline onto the fire, whipping up the flames of pit bull hysteria? Who or what is driving the onslaught of anti-dog legislation?

Your local paper, TV or radio station is - by publishing, posting or airing innacurate reports than use inflammatory language ("vicious" Rottweiler, "marauding" pitbulls, etc.)

And by deliberately showing UNRELATED footage of dogfights supplied by the Humane Society of the United States.

Dog fighting is a felony in all 50 states and is a totally separate issue from dog-on-human aggression. Yet - we have the HSUS deliberately mixing visual imagery and video of underground dogfights with the issue of dangerous dogs or dog bite prevention AND providing this footage to your local TV station, Nancy Grace, etc. The question you all need to ask is WHY?

Across the country - and indeed around the world - cities, counties and local town councils are busy banning or restricting breeds instead of punishing irresponsible behavior.

Here's what is happening:

Breed bans - an outright ban on owning a specific breed of dog
Breed-specific sterilization - owners are forced to spay or neuter animal
Breed-specific measures that include mandatory registration in a database similar to a sex offender database, forced microchipping, forced containment or signage
Breed-specific insurance requirements - forces owners to obtain the unobtainable "vicious" breed insurance - in reality this forces owners to surrender dogs or move
Weight or size restrictions - banning dogs over an arbitrarily determined weight or size - as in Fairfield, Iowa where all dogs over 100 lbs are banned (St. Bernard, Irish Wolfhound, Great Dane, etc.)
BTW - your insurance company is happily waiting in the background too - waiting to exclude coverage of your dog, waiting to drop your policy, or waiting to outrageously raise your rates.

List of 75 Banned or Restricted Dogs

This list of dogs that are NOT UNIFORMLY banned/restricted across the U.S. Individual states, cities, counties or towns all make LOCAL LAWS - and those laws differ according to individual communities.

labs?
pugs?
bostons?
ACD?
BORZOI?????????
Some of them don't surprise me but lots of these are making the mind boggle.

I mean no offense to pug owners but jeez, if people can't control a pug, what next!

And labs! I'm surprised weimies are not on there i'd expect them to come above labs and goldens in the context of being occasionally tempermental.

Bonkers!!!!
