We the residents of Paradise and surrounding areas feel the current breed specific legislation (BSL) existing in Animal Control Legislation for the Town of Paradise, specifically Section 2(a) and Section 11, are unjust and unfair.  BSL has been shown not to work.  It does not lower the incidents of dog bites, nor dog attacks in any jurisdiction where it has been implemented.  The only thing it accomplishes is it encourages responsible dog owners to break the law and vilifies breeds that have done nothing to deserve this unfair reputation they have gotten.


We wish the mayor and the counsellors of Paradise rescind this particular by law and show that the town is educated and progressive in promoting responsible pet ownership.  Ban the deed not the breed.

I believe it is not the dogs,but the owners...just like bad people are not born bad,but learned the behaviour

BSL doesn't keep people save , educate people on dog behaviours. What dogs need to be in good state of mind.

BAN THE DEED NOT THE BREED!!! Totally ridiculous that we still have these rules in this day and age.

Stop punishing the dogs for bad owners. BSL just doesn't work anywhere it's tried.

Ridiculous law. Focus on responsible ownership instead of banning specific dogs.

My pit mix is the sweetest dog ever, she wouldn't hurt a fly. This law is so outdated and unfair to good owners.

BSL is ineffective, unjust and costly. This stupidity needs to end.
