BSL - Breed Specific Legislation, Animal Discrimination, Civil Rights, Rescue Effects
BSL, or Breed specific legislation effects us all. It does not matter that the majority of the
legislation leans towards one breed or not; eventually our rights and the rights of our animals are
eventually being eroded away. For us BSL also encompasses the smaller rules and regulations
that some, local, State and Federal government lawmakers are proposing.
For example limiting the amount of dogs you can own, imposing large fees to own certain
breeds. Making us carry insurance or even keeping the dog confined to a certain area.
Why do we not agree with this? Breed identification is an impossible task in the first place. It
does not matter what breed you own, but face it we are mostly Bull Terrier people. And it is only
a matter of time before one law passed that encroaches on our Constitutional rights comes
closer to adding Bull Terriers and other breeds until the point where we will loose more and more
rights. BSL so far has proved ineffective in many States. BSL is expensive on both sides.
We stress owner responsibility. Mainly because many of us have been handling Bull Terriers
and have yet to have a bite mark. Yet the media is quick to point out when there is a bite from a
"bull breed".

BSL Effects RESCUE
SLY BEFORE
TAKE A GUESS?
| IF THESE ARE NOT SILENT THANK YOU's...what is? |
How is BSL connected to
abuse?
Our patterns of rescue almost
always lead us to areas that
have some major dog legislation
in place. Instead of most people
adhering to these laws they
breed dogs underground and
unfortunately they do not have
breeding programs and many
dogs come out with genetic or
problems from the conditions
they are raised in.
