I have to say that i am opposed to BSL. I do not think that banning the ownership of certain breeds of dogs will stop dog attacks on people or animals. The problem that arises is that when will the breed bans stop? Sooner or later there will be very few breeds that are left. And what happens to people that are breeding and showing dogs? They will be unable to continue.
One of the breeds that is getting the brunt of BSL are pit bull terriers (or any dog that people think looks like a pitbull --- which can be any of the bull breeds, boxers, labs etc). There are so many wonderful pits out there that are loyal and great pets. unfortunatley there are also a lot of bad people that own them and make the aggressive. pits were never bred to be aggressive to humans and any that were generally were killed. People have taken the fight drive to a new level. Many of these dogs would not ever fight but are abused into it. The arrest of Michael Vick under dog fighting charges really helped bring the issue of dog fighting and the horrible things that happens to the forefront.
warning this video has some disturbing images of the abuse that pits face at the hands of humans as well as a great tribute.
