England: Assembly member suggests adding breeds to ban

Posted on November 2, 2009 by stopbsl.com

London assembly member and deputy mayor for policing Kit Malthouse has written an editorial suggesting that the Dangerous Dog Act (which bans four types of dogs) has failed because not enough breeds/types of dogs are included.

He points to the ?success? of Ontario?s breed ban (I am not sure where he got data that indicates Ontario?s ban has been successful, since everything I?ve seen has indicated the opposite) and believes that all ?bull breeds? and their derivatives need to be included in the UK?s ban. He specifically names the Bull Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier in his editorial. It?s not clear whether he realizes that ?bull breed? derivatives also include breeds like the Boston Terrier, French Bulldog, and the Boxer.

Read the editorial and see what you think Kit Malthouse is suggesting. Full editorial is here:
