EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE

Posted on by
More Advocacy opportunities on this cloudy day. Breed Specific Legislation is real in many communities and it has forced many pets to be removed from homes. Even though the breeds being discriminated against have proven themselves to be great family pets (yes, it is all about the owners), communities are still trying to enact laws which disallow ownership of certain breeds. BSL can happen in your community if you don’t take action now. Please share and make a difference by writing your State legislators. ~ diana
Do you know someone who has been the victim of BSL (breed specific legislation)? If so, we NEED them! Please message us or post here if you can help us find folks who have lost their dog or who have had to fight to keep their dog due to breed discrimination where they live.Definition of BSL: Breed discrimination or breed-specific legislation (BSL) is a law that bans OR restricts certain types of dogs based on their appearance. BSL applies only to dogs of a certain appearance, not to any and all dogs. It does not take into account how the owner has raised, trained or managed the dog. It does not take into account the dog’s actual behavior.
