    That has to be the most rediculous thing i have ever seen and was obviously designed by idiots who know nothing about dogs.Prove that your dog is not a nonexistant breed!

    Makes me scared to get anywhere near that place with any dog of any breed.  Sounds like you could even call in a chiwhawha and it would get taken away from the owner because of idiots like thoes.

    This person is against BSL, I believe, yet informing us of the ridiculousness that is going on in Ontario.
     
    The term "pit bull" truly is a non existant breed, and that is his argument against the wording of the law.  Many times, the term "pit bull" is pinned on an animal that could fall into many breed categories:  American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Cane Corso, Dogo Argentino, etc.  These dogs are all different breeds, but are far too frequently (especially when it comes to dog attacks) deemed the generic term "pit bull."  If a dog is truly an American Pit Bull Terrier, then it would/should be referred to as such.  I almost always refer to my dog as an APBT.

    These poor dogs are "guilty until proven innocent."  The poor things.

    Having lived in Texas since 1974, when we moved here from California, I've seen our state do some stupid things. Or fail to do some important things, such as regulate wolfdogs. Many times, I was fairly sure that Texas was the capital of stupid. But it looks like a few well-supported canucks are trying to take the title.
     
    So far, in America, as of this week, we still have a constiutional bill of rights against unreasonable (warrantless) search and seizure. Animal contol officers can seize a dog if it's in immediate danger. Otherwise, they call for a warrant and wait for the constable to arrive. But BSL never works. It doesn't solve the problem. What if they get rid of all the dogs that look like "pit bulls?" The criminals that fight dogs will simply pick another breed and continue on. The proper form of action is to arrest the criminals and stop dog fighting. But those guys are criminals and carry guns and fight back. Too dangerous. It easier to pick on a defenseless dog.
     
    To put it nicely, I am not impressed with the leadership in Ontario that has allowed this injustice to happen.
