July 11, 2007       Dublin, Ireland Bans 11 Dog Breeds - Dump The Dogs Or They 
Will Be Destroyed           Dog lovers around the world are outraged at the 
Dublin City Council in Ireland for enacting one of the most Draconian breed 
bans in recent memory.
    The City of Dublin has banned eleven different dog breeds from Dublin City 
Council properties - meaning public housing - according to a report in 
Ireland.com

    The Dublin Breed Ban , which is effective immediately having been backdated 
to July 1st, includes:
  
   English Bull Terriers
   Staffordshire Bull Terriers
   American Pit Bull Terriers
   German Shepherds (Alsatian) 
   Rottweilers
   Dobermans
   Rhodesian Ridgebacks
   Japanese Akitas
   Bull Mastiffs
   Bandogs
   Japanese Tosas
  The sponsor of the Dublin breed ban thinks it doesn't go far enough, that's 
why he's planning to take this breed ban nationwide to include all of Ireland.
  Are all you German Shepherd people awake yet?  How about you Rhodesian 
Ridgeback lovers?  Wake up dog lovers!  Dublin's City Council also banned are 
cross-breeds of these dogs or
   
               crosses of these dogs with any other breed.
  The breed ban is in full effect now, according to Nick Mays, Chief Reporter 
for the UK's preminent newspaper covering dogs, OUR DOGS  
  He recalls that enactment of breed bans in Germany and in the Province of 
Ontario, Canada were not implemented with the same speed and zeal as the ban in 
Dublin.
  Nick reports that the Dublin City Council wants to extend the breed ban to 
cover all public places including parks, which would have the net impact of 
banning dogs that are owned by private property owners.
