BSL - Breed Specific Legislation - Is your dog safe?

Boston Terriers a dangerous breed?

Drayton Michaels, SFSCPA Academy for Dog Trainers graduate, has produced a short clip highlighting problems and dangers in Breed Specific Legislation. Thes clip is gaining popularity as the movement to roll back breed specific legislation, insurance rules grows. It includes interviews with Nicholas Dodman, Jean Donaldson, and others.

Dog bites, airline deaths, and terrorist attackes get a huge amoung of coverage in the press, far outstripping reporting of deaths by cancer, obesity, hight blood pressure, strokes, diabetes, and other issues; many which can be changed by simple lifestyle changes. You are 37,000 times more likely to die of a car crash during your lifetime.

Less than 15 people a year are killed by dogs, while nearly 600 children a year are killed by their own parents. Where is the outrage? Every 35 secons a child is confirmed abused or neglected. Where is the real problem?

Here's Drayton's video.

"41 states have communities which have BSL or proposed it. Various insurance companies consider 75 different dog breeds to be dangerous. The Pit Bull dog is singled out as one of the worst. Yet historically, scientifically and mathmatically Pit Bull dogs are safe. How did this happen?"

Thank you Drayton, CTC graduate, and  Pitbull Guru!

Drayton says a feature length film is in the worksl and a short film, The Pit Bull Hoax, is available for the price of shipping.
