Is DEFRA listening?
No national k9 charity or organisation supports the unworkable breed specific law we have been burdened with.
As a general election is due this year, it is time the Government listened to those who understand dogs and try to comprehend the truth about BSL and protect the public from the real danger - dangerous people not dangerous dogs. Yes folks, time to wake up, what we have is a people problem not a dog problemand it has always been this way.
Should 'dangerous dogs' be banned asks the Blue Cross as recent reports in the press concerning dog attacks and illegal dogs brings breed specific legislation back into public focus once again.
The Blue Cross states: "This highlights yet again an urgent need for the Act to be repealed and redrawn into a workable piece of legislation that can be enforced by police and dog wardens." Full news article here
After nine months of study, the Bateson Inquiry Report was published in January 2010 and has made specific reference to the Dangerous Dogs Act and in particular the breed specific elements contained within it calling for changes to the Dangerous Dogs Act moving away from specific breed bans. The Inquiry into dog breeding was funded by the Dogs Trust and Kennel Club, it was supported by DEFRA. Full information here
