We want to change the Pit Bull laws in Burnaby

The current "vicious" dog laws

(a) a dog that without provocation has bitten or caused injury to a human being or to a domestic animal, but does not include a dog that has bitten or injured a trespasser, and

(b) a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, an American Pit Bull Terrier and any dog generally recognized as a pit bull or pit bull terrier and includes a dog of mixed breed with predominant pit bull or pit bull terrier characteristics

From birth, "Bully" Breeds are labelled as vicious and forced to be muzzled in public regardless of behaviour.

The penalties

- Fines for Unmuzzled dogs in Burnaby will be $200

- Vicious Dogs will also be impounded for a longer time

- Owners face a $500 fine for their first "incident" with animal control
