The purpose here is not to rehash the story but, be- cause of the public atten- tion it received, to discuss BSL in general and its ef- fectiveness. What is BSL? The most basic definition is that it is a term for laws that either regulate or ban certain dog breeds in an effort to decrease dog attacks on humans and other ani- mals. These laws range from outright bans on the possession of a cer- tain breed of dog or mul- tiple dog "types," to re- strictions and conditions on ownership. The law of- ten establishes a legal pre- sumption that the breed is "dangerous" or "vicious." Regulated breeds typically encompass the "pit bull" group of dogs, which in- cludes American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staf- fordshire Terriers, Staf- fordshire Bull Terriers, and English Bull Terriers. However, in some places, regulated breeds also in- clude other dogs such as American Bulldogs, Box- ers, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Dalmatians, Chow Chows, German Shepherds, Do- berman Pinschers, or any mix of these breeds and dogs who may resemble them. Although BSL primar- ily focuses on the above breeds, statistics show that serious attacks have been inflicted by a number of breeds, many of which are not typically listed, such as: Husky, Saint Bernard, Great Dane, Malamute, Golden and Labrador Re- trievers, Dachshund, Col- lie, and Yorkshire Ter- rier. In addition, the Cen- ter for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after doing a study of human fa- talities resulting from dog bites, cited (among other problems) the inherent dif- ficulties in breed identifi- cation, especially among mixed-breed dogs. A study by The National Canine Research Council noted a significant discrepancy be- tween visual determina- tion of breed and DNA de- termination of breed, thus supporting the concern re- garding breed identifica- tion. A number of reputable groups examined breed- based dog laws and fa- vor, instead, breed-neu- tral dog regulations that focus on owner responsi- bility and address safety without blaming a breed. These groups include the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behav- ior, the American Veteri- nary Medical Association, the United Kennel Club, the ASPCA, the Humane Society of the U.S., HUD, the National Animal Con- trol Association, the Amer- ican Kennel Club, and the United States Department of Justice. Dog attacks can be a very real problem within communities and other factors beyond breed, like the lack of proper social- ization, training, and re- productive status, can af- fect a dog's aggression. In fact, all the above groups adamantly agree that dog owners should be respon- sible for properly train- ing and socializing all dog breeds. To provide com- munities with the most effective dangerous dog control possible, laws must be reasonable, non- discriminatory, and en- forceable. The American Kennel Club, in part of their 'Position Statement,' perhaps outlines it best, "Strongly enforced dog control laws such as leash laws, generic guidelines for dealing with danger- ous dogs and increased public education efforts to promote responsible dog ownership are all positive ways to protect communi- ties from dangerous dogs. Increasing public educa- tion efforts is significant because it helps address the root cause of the prob- lem — irresponsible dog owners." As many of us within the animal welfare community will attest, ir- responsible dog owners are truly at the core of dog aggression. At present there is no convincing data to indi- cate that BSL has suc- ceeded anywhere, simply because any dog can bite, any dog can maim, and any dog can be highly ag- gressive. It has not been proven that because of BSL public safety has im- proved or that dog bites have decreased. Although BSL might offer a modi- cum of comfort to those who have had a bad ex- perience with a certain breed, it certainly does not effectively focus on the problem itself, that be- ing dangerous dog behav- ior and, again, irresponsi- ble owners. Therefore, it would be better if we advocated for the implementation of breed-neutral laws that focus on the problem in- stead of a breed, as rec- ommended by the groups mentioned above. They suggest using a multi-di- mensional approach. Pro- mote educational pro- grams for both adults and children that teach pet care and responsibility, training, and bite preven- tion. Effectively enforce state and local laws and ordinances that address licensing, animal cruelty, improper confinement, at-large dogs, etc. Hold guardians liable, both civ- illy and criminally, for damages caused by negli- gent behavior. Offer low- cost spay/neuter services. Lastly, to put everything in perspective, BSL is ac- tually nothing more than racial profiling for dogs.

Disturbance San Benito Avenue: Two people got into an argument about 12:20a.m. Thursday Police Logs Ronnie Casey The city election ex- cluding what is known as the Northern Addition to the city of Red Bluff re- ceived an overwhelming majority yesterday. There was but one poll- ing place and while the vote was light compared to the number of registra- tions in the city, yet those who were interested cer- tainly made it a unani- mous vote. For exclusion received 225 votes while those opposed to the ex- clusion cast an even 20 votes. By this vote it will mean that this northern addi- tion will from now on be under the control of the county supervisors. It was of little value to the city for the reason that all im- provements in that section would have been a burden on the people of the city as there are no residence of other property there of any apparent value with the exception of a portion of a farm and these people were not opposed to mov- ing out of the city limits. — Oct. 15, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
