A child loses their beloved pet to a law that should have never been passed in the first place. BSL, or breed specific legislation, is a law put in place to ban and most times euthanize perfectly healthy dogs with a bad reputation. 'Pit bulls' are not the only dogs subject to this law. BSL affects many other breeds, including German Shepherds, Dobermans and Rottweilers. Based on the media and the 'blame the breed' mindset, this law is completely ridiculous and does more harm than good by tearing dogs away from loving families.
