Breed Specific Legislation

Breed Specific Legislation is no different to racism. It is the equivalent of me saying that "All Muslims are terroritsts" or "All Scotsmen wear kilts". I do not believe either of these statements as I know them to be untrue. However it does not alter the fact that legislation in place that is in fact formatively racist when it comes to certain breeds of dog. There are four banned breeds in the Dangerous Dogs Act

Under the Dangerous Dogs Act. It is illegal to own, breed from, sell or abandon any of these breeds or crosses of these breeds. The authorities can seize any dog that they believe is a banned type. The methods of identifying whether or not a dog is a banned type is somewhat dated in my opinion. Taking certain measurements from the dog, looking at the dogs appearance and such like to me there is no way to prove that a dog is a banned breed. It does not matter if the dog has never attacked anyone or there has never been a complaint against the dog. If the authorities believe that your dog is a banned type then they can take it without a warrant.
