    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.…

    From vaccinating kittens to resuscitating a critical care patient, small animal veterinarians help pet owners create the best life for their companions. Taking care of my pets has been an irreplaceable experience, and I hope to help form similar relationships. Other types of veterinarians focus on research, foreign diseases, and the protection of our food supply. Veterinarians are increasingly dealing with the spread of zoonotic diseases such as the avian flu, leptospirosis, and salmonella. In less privileged countries, these diseases greatly affect food supply, so it is extremely important for vets to be immersed in our environment's health.…

    First very seldomly do I get the AC form. Second someone at FOAC has to assign each dog there number like what Maureen did with the 10 puppies. Not a big deal except when no-one knows what puppy is with what foster and what puppy has what name it makes it extremely difficult to assign any dog a number and keep it straight. Furthermore, since every dog fostered or adopted out is comprised of at least 5 people dealing in some way with the animal everyone has to be rehearsed on the basic information of each dog most importantly the name. There is no way all of these people can track the dog with a number instead of a name.…

The breeding animals can never leave their cage, imprisoned in overcrowded, filthy cages and bred repeatedly until the female dogs no longer can.

    In modern societies, animals turned out to largely contribute to the development of both social and economic activities. In this sense, it is perspicaciously that a whole practical legislation has emerged to serve a beneficial purpose that is to maintain order within the community. Before considering what the Control of Dogs Act 1986 brought to the existing legislation related to dogs, it is of significance importance to clearly understand what the Act involves as well as to define what strict liability is in order to precisely assess the form of liability arising for the owner of a dog in case of a harmful conduct. Deprived of conscience, animals are capable of doing great mischief, this is why strict liability is applied in such cases:…
