Breed bans have been introduced all across the United States and the rest of the world. They've also been proven not to work. Scotland, the United Kingdom, and Toledo, have all rewrote their breed ban and dangerous dog acts after deciding that they haven't caused any significant changes in public safety or dog attacks.
But, what are the alternatives?
- Strengthen current dog laws in regards to leash laws and dog confinement laws.
- Make laws stricter for dog abuse and dog fighting.
- Make stricter regulations for dogs left unattended for over 24 hours.
- Create dog breeding regulations.
- Create low cost spay/neuter programs, as well as low-cost or free dog training and care programs.
There are many things that local, state, or national governments can do to create long-term changes toward public safety improvements in regards to dogs and animal attacks. It's just the matter of creating the fix versus the easy way out.
