One Man's Opinion - Pit Bull Bans

Thunder Bay,Ontario, Canada -- Since 1983, 23 people have died across this country as a result of dog attacks, 23 people over 21 years. 55 dogs were involved in those attacks.

Only one only one of those 55 dogs would be banned under Ontario Attorney-General Michael Bryants proposed so-called pit bull legislation one dog in the last 23 years.

Im convinced that breed-specific legislation, specific breed band do not work and this proposal according to prominent Canadian defence lawyer Clayton Ruby could well be challenged in a court of law because it doesnt clearly define a pit bull. Says Rudy, The legislation has got to have enough certainty so that you as a citizen have a right to understand its meaning. He said Its limited to one breed, two breeds, and other dogs that are similar whatever the hell that means.

This isnt an animal rights issue its a common sense issue. Specific breed bans dont work. Breeders, trainers, veterinarians, kennel clubs, animal behaviourists will tell you that they never have, never will.
