Animal Welfare Group Positions Overwhelmingly Against Breed Specific Legislation

If Breed Specific Legislation is such a good idea, why is it that virtually every Animal Welfare Group is against it? It is particularly telling that even the National Animal Animal Control Association is against BSL, because in many cases (and Miami is a good example), the only "science" considered in passing the law was anecdotal information given by animal control officers from that jurisdiction. It is also noteworthy that contained on the list is the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association, because Denver has a breed ban that is currently being challenged.

Listed below in alphabetical order (and certainly not in order of importance):

1. American Animal Hospital Association
2. American Dog Owners Association
3. American Humane Association
4. American Kennel Club
5. American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
6. American Veterinarian Medicine Association
7. Association of Pet Dog Trainers
8. British Veterinary Association: overwhelming calling for repeal of BSL
9. California Veterinarian Medical Association
10. Canadian Kennel Club
11. Center for Disease Control
12. Colorado Veterinary Medical Association
13. Humane Society of the United States
14. International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants
15. Louisiana Veterinary Medical Association
16. National Animal Control Association
17. National Animal Interest Alliance
18. National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors
19. National Canine Research Council
20. Texas Veterinary Medical Association
