Breed Specific Legislation
Edit By:How To Pet
Q:I am just curious, is anyone in this forum active in fighting BSL?
Canada seems to be on the BSL bandwagon and fighting it has become an uphill battle. Pitt Bull and pitt bull mixes are the primary targets but recently bouviers and rodesian ridgebacks have been added to the mix.

A:All of us on the pit bull forum I moderate do everything we can to fight it.
I believe BSL was proposed in Toronto not long ago, but the law did not go through.
As we all know, BSL is not the answer. As each breed - pit bulls at the moment - are banned, the type of people who are causing the problem will just move on to another breed.
BSL is as futile as banning a make of car each time a drunk driver kills someone in it.

A:I must say, I am a bit disappointed in the lack of response. Of course, I knew that you LR would be part of the fight.
I just did 2 minutes of research and this is what I came up with.
British Columbia - The cities of Vancouver and Coquitlam have restrictions on pit bulls.
Alberta - In Edmonton, pit bulls must be muzzled, the license fees are higher and each dog must have $1,000,000.00 worth of liability insurance.
Brooks has legislation on the table that will restrict pit bulls and ban rottweilers, mastiffs, and rodesian ridgebacks.
In Saskatchewan - the city of Clavet has banned pit bulls and the city of Moosomin has banned pit bulls, rottweilers and dobermans.
In Manitoba - Winnepeg and MacDonald have banned pit bulls.
Ontario - Kitchner and Waterloo - banned pit bulls
Lakeshore - no pit bulls or preas canarios
Midland - pit bulls, rottweilers and any mastiff breed must be muzzled at all times.
Vaughn - pit bull licenses are 5x higher then other breeds.
In Quebec - Sherbrooke - banned pit bulls, rottweilers, and mastiffs.
Saint-Jean-sur-Richilieu - banned pit bulls
Lachine, Kirkland, Outremont, and Saint Geneivieve - banned pit bulls.
In Nova Scotia - Clarks Harbor has banned pit bulls.
In Prince Edward Island -Montague - banned pit bulls and rottweilers.
Don't worry, if you own a pit bull, chances are the fight will come to your town.
Just so you know, this is nothing compared to the U.S.

A:My brother lives in Lachine, and the banning of pit bulls came about by the mayor being treed by two of them, owned no doubt by the kind of scum who is hurting all of us.
BSL is nowhere near the magnitude here that it is in the US, partly because the population is so much smaller, other than in major urban areas, particularly the Toronto - Hamilton area, where there is a big dogfighting problem.
I've never seen a pit bull in a shelter here, and in fact had to travel 600 miles to get mine! Of course, our shelter kills nearly everything that comes through the doors, so that could be it too.
That's not to say there are none in downtown Montreal, or that there is no problem,(I'm sure there is) but I have never heard it.
