Why You Should Care About the Pitbull Ban Even if You Don't Care About Pitbulls

If the Ontario law stands, it could very easily spread like wildfire.  Even if you don’t care about “pitbulls” ANYTHING can be banned if the courtdecision stands, with no evidence of “apprehension of harm”.

 

Warrantless Search & Seizure – Replace “Pitbull” with any other item or any breed of dog.  Is it okay in Canada for authorities to be able to enter your home and seize it without a warrant?

Reverse Onus – Dogs are being misidentified every day by Animal Control Officers. If your dog is not a registered dog, and especially if it is short haired, it could be misidentified as a “Pitbull” and seized and killed.

 

In other parts of the world, LONG BACKED BREEDS, SHORT LEGGED BREEDS, SHORT FACED BREEDS, HAIRLESS BREEDS are on their way to being banned because the extreme Animal Rights movement is lobbying, saying it is cruel to continue breeding these dogs.  I expect to see any breed with ANY genetic disease or fault added to that since the goal of this movement is for people to no longer have animals held in “slavery” domestic pets.

 

Breed Bans do nothing to keep people safe.  In fact, in many areas where bans exist, bites have actually increased.  The Netherlands rescinded their ban after 15 years because it was ineffective.  Governments know that breed bans don’t work.  They have been given the information by the experts, which leads one to believe that the only motive they have for a breed ban is the power to ban. 

 

Non breed specific laws work.  Calgary has a wonderful law.  It works.  Bites have decreased, licensing has increased.  It is not breed specific and holds animal owners responsible for their pets.

    I have a pitbul cross, I have always had a dog but never one as noble or even heroic as this one. Because of their reputation I was very leary of taking him home. I am so glad I did he has enriched my life enormously. He protects the animal on my small farm and the neighbors all love him. One couple down the road have ask to have him if anything ever happens to me. What a bad and erroneous rap this breed has received. It is the owners you should look at.

    You are preaching to the choir there! One respectful minor correction though, the dog you have might be an American Staffordshire Terrier X or a Staffordshire Bull Terrier X or an American Pit Bull Terrier X or who knows? An American Bulldog X, a Bull Terrier X a Boxer X? It isn't a “pitbull” x. There is no such breed as “pitbull”. “Pitbull” is a generic term given to dogs with short coat, blocky heads and well muscled bodies. This isn't purebred snobbery speaking, I just don't want to support the notion held by the Ontario government in any way that “Pitbull” is a breed, because it isn't. It's a nickname for a type, not a breed. In any case, I'm sure your dog is a great dog since dogs are reflections of their humans, and you are obviously very sensible.
