Meatless Mouthful–Obama Administration On Dog Breed Laws

“We don’t support breed-specific legislation — research shows that bans on certain types of dogs are largely ineffective and often a waste of public resources.”
“As an alternative to breed-specific policies, the CDC recommends a community-based approach to prevent dog bites. And ultimately, we think that’s a much more promising way to build stronger communities of pets and pet owners.”
–The Obama Administration, in response to a petition from opponents of legislation that bans certain breeds of dogs. The official response from the White House cites two decades of statistics on dog bites and people who use abuse and neglect dogs to state their point on why such laws hurt rather than help animals.
