I am opposed to enacting breed-specific legislation. I do not own
a pit bull or bull breed, never have and am not likely to own one.
This decision was not made because I dislike the bull breeds, but
because I choose to share my life with standard poodles. The odds
that poodles will be banned are slim to none. I have no personal axe
to grind. So, why does this issue raise my hackles? As a dog lover
and someone who has worked with dogs for over 25 years, I feel that I
must speak out. Enacting breed-specific legislation will not solve
the problem of vicious dogs. It will, however, punish good dogs and
their owners for the actions of a few. Call me crazy, but this sounds
like the doggy version ...
