Breed Specific Legislation is running rampant across the world, discriminating against responsible dog owners and good dogs.
We must unite and put an end to this injustice once and for all. There have been enough innocent lives lost!
Banned Aid supports dangerous dog legislation that applies equally to all dogs and dog owners. Breed specific legislation is based on cultural scapegoating where politicians and the media attempt to simplify a serious and complex problem by blaming it on certain dog breeds.
When you cut through the hype and emotion the facts that emerge are startling. Breed is not a driving factor behind serious dogs bites. Dogs of any breed can demonstrate inappropriate levels of aggression and ownership factors play a significant role in the development of aggression in an individual dog.
At Ontario's public hearings every credible dog expert, including veterinarians, trainers, groomers and technicians opposed the proposed breed specific legislation while applauding aspects of the legislation that would apply equally to all dog owners. Yet the government chose to ignore the advice of the experts and passed breed specific legislation.
Banned Aid is raising funds to support the legal challenge against Ontario's "pit bull" ban with Clayton Ruby, one of Canada's top laywers, leading the charge.
