BSL IS IT WORKING FOR ANYONE??

 

.

SURELY SOMEONE HAS HAD SUCCESS WITH BSL?

The effects of BSL on public safety are seriously understudied, especially by the scientific community.

 

The few scientific studies that exist have indicated that BSL has little to no effect on public safety. In some cases, as in the U.K., dog bites appear to be a growing problem in spite of BSL.

 

To date, there are no scientific studies anywhere that confirm BSL or breed bans have had a significant positive effect on public safety.

 

The reasons for this lack of data are numerous:

 

Some cities that pass BSL fail to collect bite data after passage of the legislation. They assume that the problem is solved, and do not look into the issue again.

Or, as with Aurora, the city changes its method of bite data collection so that it becomes difficult if not impossible to compare pre- and post-BSL dog bites.

Sometimes the city only tracks bites by “pit bulls” and not other breeds, so it is not possible to discern whether another breed is causing more problems after passage of BSL.

Often, the city does not make its dog bite data freely and easily available upon request. The reasons why are unclear. One could surmise that this may be because of improper or outdated methods of record-keeping, overburdened office workers, or embarrassment over unfavorable statistics.

Breed identification and many other issues raise questions as to the accuracy and validity of many dog bite statistics.

There is no uniform method for collecting dog bite information, nor is there a primary organization to which all dog bites are reported.

In the few cases where sufficient data has been scientifically gathered and analyzed, BSL has not been shown to reduce dog bites or improve public safety

BSL AND BREED ID ARE NOT WORKING

 

breed identification by visual inspection—let alone by eye witness reports—is all but useless. That is further demonstrated by the fact that when the breed of a dog involved in an incident is determined by two separate sources, media and animal control, for example, they are often not in agreement. Reliable ID is made in only 17% of cases. “Results—Major co-occurrent factors for the 256 DBRFs included absence of an able-bodied person to intervene (n = 223 [87.1%]), incidental or no familiar relationship of victims with dogs (218 [85.2%]), owner failure to neuter dogs (216 [84.4%]), compromised ability of victims to interact appropriately with dogs (198 [77.4%]), dogs kept isolated from regular positive human interactions versus family dogs (195 [76.2%]), owners’ prior mismanagement of dogs (96 [37.5%]), and owners’ history of abuse or neglect of dogs (54 [21.1%]). Four or more of these factors co-occurred in 206 (80.5%) deaths. For 401 dogs described in various media accounts, reported breed differed for 124 (30.9%); for 346 dogs with both media and animal control breed reports, breed differed for 139 (40.2%). Valid breed determination was possible for only 45 (17.6%) DBRFs; 20 breeds, including 2 known mixes, were identified." http://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.243.12.1726

Most of the dog bite fatality info from CDC/HSUS studies; stats from the 

book “Fatal Dog Attacks” by Karen Delise.

 

Additional statistics from both the CDC and the National Safety Council.

 

The percentage of overall pit bull populations in shelters was drawn from 

various shelter/rescue statistical data.

 

One note on pit bull population estimates that are floating around out 

there – I believe the pit bull population numbers are grossly 

underestimated by AKC-leaning “experts
