Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) continues to grow even though it's been shown not to work. Overall, it doesn't lessen overall dog bites in any community where it's been instituted. Plus, once one breed has been banned, it's easy for the legislative body to add one or more breeds. And if you think you're breed won't be banned, think again! Liz, Petra, and Kate talk about breed bans, BSL, and what would work better. Questions or Comments?

Nancy and Harold wrap up our Pit Bull Series, discuss our Wonder Fosters - KD, who got adopted, Curry, and Phelps - and talk about the Montreal vote on Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) that would ban pit bull-type dogs. Some major population areas that do ban pit bull-type dogs include Miami-Dade County, Florida, Denver, Colorado, and the Province of Ontario. Statistically, it has been difficult to see how dog bans improve public safety.
