Dangerous Dogs, Dangerous Governments


And yes, even I think it's ludicrous!

It'll be a cold day in you know what before the government or anyone for that matter tells me I can't own an Akita or any other breed for that matter....Breed banning is nothing more then the ignorance of the people doing it....Ignorant to the fact that it is not the breed but the irresponsible idiots who own them!

I was surprised too. There are four breeds that are banned in the uk - but that doesn't include crossbreeds, so, say for example if a pbt bred with a chihuahua (!) then it could be banned under the dangerous dogs act. Cross breeds is where things get VERY difficult.

And people on this forum think I'M harsh!

Most of the cities here do the same...They ban or restrict the cross breeds as well and that again is another issue....Unless it is known who both of the parents are how can anyone be sure exactly what breeds are in a mixed breed dog without DNA testing?...A lot of dogs would be getting banned on assumptions made by their looks and that is certainly not fair...I think it's just another way for the various governmental systems to stick their noses in the peoples lives!

Yes..there are quite a few different breeds banned or restricted depending on which city you live in...A lot of them however have a hard time passing such laws because of the protests of the people who own those breeds and the people who live in the cities that want the law....A large percentage of people in the states myself included see the law as unfair to the breeds it's banning because it's judging a whole breed on the acts of the ones that are dangerous and the majority of the time it's the owners fault...It's punishing those of us who love the breeds and a re responsible owners....We're also not very fond of the government having that much say so in our lives....They do not have the right to dictate what breed of dog we can own if we are responsible in our ownership!

LOL...No probably not...When I move some place different it always involves what's best for my dogs...Therefore I live in places where the climate best suits their needs and where there are no laws restricting or banning them....The city I live in now already restricts Pitbulls and Akita's are next to be tried...Should that law pass I will be moving from here to.
