The American Kennel Club(AKC), American Veterinary Medical Association(AVMA), and ASPCA have acknowledged that Breed Specific Legislation does not work. Dr. C.W. Meisterfeld, Americas most experienced professional dog trainer(since 1954), an U.S. judicial certified canine behavioral expert witness explains why the BSL has failed and why the dog attacks are increasing on a global level.

Chelsea, AL (PRWEB) - The American Kennel Club,
American Veterinary Association, and ASPCA have acknowledged that BSL does not work.

They list "the top six reasons why"

However they failed to research as to why Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Newfoundlanders, Dachshunds, Yorkshires Terriers, Pomeranian and 23 other pure breed dogs have caused human fatalities. Mainly young children are the victims. United States Center for Disease Control

C.W. Meisterfeld a professional dog trainer, since 1954, who has been specializing in rehabilitating aggressive dogs wrote a documented book, Jelly Bean versus Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, (published 1989) about why the friendly family puppy suddenly becomes a wild and vicious animal, bites the hand that feeds it and attacks their children.

The Dangerous Dog Act (DDA) breed banning (BSL) was originally drafted in America by the Animal Regulation Chief Robert I Rush of the City of Los Angeles California Department of Animal Regulations on Mar 31, 1990. (Los Angeles Times)

This policy was based on the erroneous misconception that pit-bulls, American staffordshire terriers, bull terriers, Akita's and other fighting breeds are genetically born dangerous and should be exterminated. No one questioned or challenged Mr. Rush ethnic cleansing policy. Not even the American Kennel Club. In defending their AKC registered breeds,

Mr. Rush sent a directive to all of Los Angeles city shelters "Shall not sell any pit-bull type dog to any person, period" and within three weeks the shelters exterminated 3,000(three thousand) innocent dogs.

Due to the fact that dog attacks were increasing throughout the United States other U.S. cities and even foreign n countries adopted Rush's policy of canine ethnic cleansing or The Dangerous Dog Act

On July 25, 1991 Britain copied the US Dangerous dog Act, which is still causing pain and suffering to dog owners and their pets.

On Friday August 30 2002 BSL was defeated in historic court ruling the Alabama Supreme Court ruled 7-2 "that there was no genetic evidence that one breed of dog was (born) more dangerous than another simply because of it's breed."

Meisterfeld say's "It's not a breed problem it's a behavioral problem due to alpha dominant training" that's causing dogs to become vicious and attack. "These traumatizing/terrorizing training methods have imprinted a new and vicious behavior in even our once friendly breeds."

The subtitle of Meisterfeld's book - written for the safety of our children and the welfare of our dogs is most appropriate because it serves both camps, and was written purely from his own, pioneering, experience with canine aggression and neurosis.

Also the principle of Meisterfeld's philosophy rehabilitates dogs that have had rage syndromes without any form of negative reinforcement/punishment or drugs are explained in his book.

that is some interesting facts about dogs. I would have to say owners are to blame the way the dogs react. to me its like if you dont teach your dog its first steps to its life as its growing up and whats wrong and right your not a owner. being a owner comes with a huge ammount of responsibilities and if your not going to prevent your dog for the worst things there known for u are not a owner. it's plain and simple if you can't gaurentee your dogs is not aggressive you best be tying the doggie up. i would like to let my dog loose i can't afford to fully fence the property so i let him off inside doors shut supervision 24/7 when he wants a play chain him to a 2 cm thick wire and make him run along sideways backwards and forwards for some 5 minute a day activity, then i make him fetch his bone he brings it back then bites at it neatly until i leave or throw it again its heaps of everyday events that take place on my yard. i use to take him for runs. what my community calls a district council has enforced new laws which is if you have a dog classed ass dangerous i.e pittys lockjaws you have to muzzle them when leaving your property to ensure you are not a threat towards other people and dog owners. which is fair for some it is not, we just can't 100% assure our dogs is under control. However rules are set for a reason, i disagree with those who refuse to sighn the papers but its a free world id like to hear more possitive news. Just a point of view i wanted to spread around. by the way im gonna buy him a new muzzle so i can take him for runs. I dont own a bank so im going the patient way. But im sure i'll achieve my wants if i want it bad enough.

I just hope that people don't get the impression that proper training will make a pit non-dog aggressive. these dogs should never be off leash/chain in any area where they can get free and get at another dog. the risk of nature taking place over nuture is just to great.

I am happy to see BSL defeated there because just because a few of the dogs are mean doesn't mean they all are. I mean what if they had similiar laws for people? we probably would all be euthanized based on which race committed viscious crimes first.

Then do you need this breed? Because when I have my dogs out on leashes for walks, my dogs ARE under my control. The only thing I can't guarantee is that if a loose dog runs up to us within striking distance that my dog isn't going to take it out. But we do have a leash law here, so whoever's dog it is, is the one who's to blame for the loss of his dog.

It doesn't matter what breed of dog you have, there is always the possiblity of agressiveness. The Alpha Male thing kicking in, or even the fight/flight instinct in a less dominant dog. We have a catahoula that has to haul by himself, because he will jump anything, male or female, even his full brother litter mate that he was raised with. Leashes almost guarantee your control of your dog, but loose dogs that come up to yours when under your control, well... I would have to say they are fair game if they come up to mine, and I sure as hell am not sticking my hand down between them to stop it.
