Dogs are becoming a standard part of families’ lives and are truly a man or woman’s best friend. However, how can we guarantee that all dogs will not cause harm to our society and not bring in violence and aggression? The solution is Breed-Specific Legislation which are laws that try to control negative animal behavior such as biting or other attacks by restricting or completely outlawing certain aggressive breeds. It is a common misconception that BSL only refers to banning breeds of dogs however, this is not the case. BSL are precise restrictions for the more violent breeds of dogs including pit bulls and rottweilers and these laws aware owners on how these breeds require proper attention and care to be able to fit into a benevolent society.
