the biggest issue with the staffy is...
they look enough like a "pit bull" that even if their actual breed name isnt on the list, they would be mistaken for the APBT and that could get you in deep water also...
then again most of those pushgin for BSL and those enforcing it wouldnt know a "pit bull" if it realy did bite them on the butt...my frined was told her less wrinkled pei was a pitbull, anothers lab mix is absolutly a pitbull, boxers and boxer mixes MUST be at least part pitbull, ect, it doesnt matter around here at the very least, shoudl bsl hit this area thered be a huge number of not even remotly bully breeds off to the chopper.
heck jasper man is an african wild dog, Dodger is a fennic fox, Vixie is a red fox cub and the list goes on...
Bsl effects EVERYONE, one day its pit bulls, the next its pit bull like dogs, the next its "dangerous breeds" (and everyone has their own definition) soon enough itll be all breed within a certain weight range or all black and tan dogs ect...(because if its black and tan it MUST be part doberman...) the whole thing is ridiculous...
theyd do a much better job banning stupid people, and putting effort into educating dog owners...
i mean heck, some places have BANNED Clothes lines for goddess sake...yes folks in some towns and communities it is ILLEGAL to dry your clothes outdoors...why? because some folks dont liek the way it looks...
there trying to make it illegal in our town to grow vegatables on a front facing lawn, here its not uncommon for the lawn to be all in the front/road side with the house sat at back of the property...
but vegatables look unsightly when they start to wilt, some vegatables have "sexual shapes" ect...
people dont need a real reason to say "nope dont like it" beyond looks and a staffy (and they are wonderfull little powerhouses though prone to dog/same sex agression like most other bully breeds) looks close enough to an AmStaff or APBT to be an issue.
sad to think that if they put this much effort into whiping out other crimes rather than worrying whos got what dog, whos drying their clothes outside and whos vegatables look like a penis, the world would be a much Nicer place for all!
