Narrow minded backwoods logic.... that is what this law is! Do your homework Guysbourgh! Small dogs like Jack Russell Terrioirs have higher rates of violence than pit mixed dogs.

Breed specific laws really don't do a thing to protect people. Dalmations bite more than any other breed, but they're never on the banned list. These lists are based on fear, not facts.

They want to rip a family member away from a loving home! Unbelievable! How many times do we have to prove that BSL does not work?!?

That not right there would not be a bylaw it all depends on how they are brought up any dog can't bite

This is absolutely ridiculous, it’s not the breeds it’s the owners. If this fur baby is 9 and has not ever been aggressive to anyone what is the problem?

BSL doesn’t work. All dogs can attack. Humans need to take responsibility for how they raise and treat their animals.

This law should be nulled. Cruel. And has not hurt anyone. Signed.

Breed specific laws need to be abolished. Instead focus on people who shouldn’t have animals in the first place and mistreat and abuse them. This seems like a more logical goal than removing a family pet.

Reprehensible. This by law is discriminatory and based on fear mongering and breed stereotypes.

Breed Specific bylaws are useless. Ant dog has the potential to bite or be aggressive. The dog is shaped by its environment not it's breed.

Any dog of any breed has the potential to attack.

I hope the result of this case is in favor of the dog owner.

Ridiculous . Should people stop having children because they might have the potential to harm others ? Glad I don’t live in your county ! I’d have to move !

This is inflicting such unnecessary pain on a family and beloved pet. dogs of a certain breed are not the problem- trainers are. If a specific dog has beaved agressively- deal with that owner. But please do not label all dogs of a certain breed as agressive! It doesn't old weight genetically, or statistically. After WW@ it was German Separds wo were "vicious." In te 80's it was Dobermin Pinchers. Now it's thougth to be Pit Bull's and those who "appear" similar. All the while the past bully breeds have come into their own as loving, and wonderful family pets. Look to the humans- not the dogs for the problems (if, infact, there is a problem- other than discrimination.)

This is a ridiculous bylaw. Banned because the dog may attack is nonsensical. People maybattack should we jail everyone.
