This is what BSL legislation is all about: storm troopers having the right to invade your home and kill your dog because of the way it looks or because of a so-called “expert’s” opinion on the breed or type of dog he/she is - and God forbid the poor animal act frightened while languishing in a prison for 2 years away from his/her home! Death is all these people want — and sadly there are some so-called “animal welfare” organizations in this country which operate the same way (ASPCA, PETA to name but two). Greater accountability is needed and laws forcing organizations to allow reputable rescues and charities to take the animals they aren’t willing to work with. Same should apply in cases like this. There were options for this poor boy and many qualified people offered to re-home him, thus saving his life. Nope. The council wanted him dead. Vile. I hope they experience a backlash like they’ve never imagined possible.
All freedom-loving people need to oppose BSL whenever it rears its ugly head in their communities. It doesn’t matter HOW it’s worded, this type of horror is the end result.
I have two wonderful, friendly, large dogs who could easily be impacted by BLS legislation and I think i’s abominable. The older, at 6.5 yr., weighs 85 lb. and is half Black lab and half Pit. There’s never been a more wonderful, funny, loving dog. The other is a 1 yr., 4 mo. old Great Dane, also a breed that’s sometimes condemned, even though they’re some of the most lovable, friendly dogs in the world.
