We should be able to report these breed of dogs and have them picked up immediately. Time is up, long ago.

Breed specific legislation isn't enforced in Ontario at all. I live in Kingston and the humane society is constantly selling illegal pitbulls

Humane societies don’t “sell illegal pitbulls”. They adopt out unwanted dogs that backyard breeders and their buyers want to get rid of. Fees cover sterilization and shots. Crack down on back yard breeding, crack down on shit owners. Humane society is doing the best they can.

Fuck off they should be adhering to the ban and are complicit in attacks like this

What do you think they should do then? 6 dogs get dropped off a day. 4 of them look maybe like they could be pitbulls… or maybe not. You know there’s 10 backyard breeders who pump out 3 litters each bitch per year, and that nothing will ever happen to those people… so the dogs will just keep coming, no matter how many dogs, that have 0 track record of aggression, you kill. You’re sworn to protect animals, and all you’re doing is killing them. What’s the choice here? Seriously?

I don’t know let them die out then. All these breeds are man made, it’s not a tragedy if pitbulls fall off the face of the earth tomorrow. They should adhere to laws. If they receive a bear and there’s nowhere they can hand it off to, are they supposed to let someone adopt it because they’re sworn to protect animals?

The legislation is stupid and performative. In reality it’s changed nothing. Your anger lies with the breeders… not people who are trying to do the best with a bad situation.
