Rather than waste valuable time with Breed Specific Legislation, propose a ban on backyard breeders and puppy mills. This legislation would combat much of the abuse and abandonment that creates vicious, poorly trained and sickly animals. These facilities are run by "fast buck artists" who are long gone when trouble starts. The society at large ultimately pays for these abuses by being forced to deal with the abandoned and sick animals through agencies like the SPCA.
Does this seem right? Wasting time blaming a few breeds for all the problems when the real culprits are greedy human beings who over produce popular dogs like the Chihuahua which is flooding into animal shelters at an asounding rate. People bought them because they were featured in TV commercials, talking animal movies and some irrational celebrities trotted them out as fashion accessories. Now people are finding all kinds of problems with this breed, such as, they are very difficult to house train.
Here is how the human population will grow to 9.5 billion people by 2050. Our trusty dog population will be growing right along with the number of humans on the Planet so sadly dog rescue is here to stay. We need better options to stop animal suffering, abuse and abandonment. Spay and neuter your pets.
The world population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999, a doubling that occurred over 40 years. The Census Bureau's latest projections imply that population growth will continue into the 21st century, although more slowly. The world population is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2045, an increase of 50 percent that is expected to require 46 years.
