Is your community biased against certain dog breeds?
03/21/23 • 31 min
Across the country, entire communities ban or restrict dogs because of their breed or perceived breed. The HSUS opposes such public policies as inhumane and ineffective. There is no evidence that breed-specific laws reduce dog bites or attacks on people and they divert resources from more effective animal control and public safety initiatives.
Breed-based policies are based on myths and misinformation, rather than science or credible data. Their impact on dogs, families and animal shelters, however, is heartbreakingly real.
Learn the truth about breed bans and help your community become a place where dogs aren’t judged by their looks, but by their behavior.
