Breed specific legislation is bollox. Ask anyone who works with dogs, whatever the capacity.
I’ve seen 1st hand evidence of this in a rescue centre.
I’ve seen bear eating rotties roll on there back for a tummy rub, I’ve seen pit bulls go giddy after a tennis ball & wriggle like a mad thing when their ears are scratched, I’ve seen nippy & aggressive toy dogs go for handlers & psychotic pure breeds lunge at anything that comes with 50 feet.
(None of this is made up – it’s just an average day in an inner city rescue centre.)
It isn’t the dog that’s the problem, it’s the environment it’s kept in.
There is no doubt that there is unnecessary conflict between pet owners & those who chose not to, but the way forward isn’t this poorly thought out piece of legislation!
