Hi Daphne, I don't support any type of BSL. In my opinion, the offending dog's owners should be held responsible for the actions of their dogs! It's the same principle as if Crockett wanted to ban all Ford motor cars because too many Ford drivers run stop signs and cause accidents - you hold the drivers responsible, not the automobile. The same should hold true with dogs - don't penilize an entire town or county's dog owing community because there are a few bad dog owners. The town should strengthen penalties against the dog owners, including jail time if necessary, and banning offenders from owning dogs in extreme cases. But don't ban a breed because of bad owners, that's stupid.

At the Monday council meeting members of council began the discussions by asking the police chief to investigate the possibility of a Breed Specific (not GSD) Ordinance. Naturally, I offered to assist them in achieving their goals Without that type of approach. Any input you can provide that may assist me in helping them will be appreciated.
