Ever heard of BSL? The Breed Specific Legislation is a law which targets specific breeds allowing authorities to ban a specific number of breeds such as the Pit Bull. This also allows them to confiscated dogs who look like such breeds.
One of the most famous BSL story is that of Lennox, an American Bulldog and Labrador Mix who was taken from this family since 2010 and was killed a couple of days ago due to the Belfast City Council's verdict.
This dog did not harm anyone, nor did he bite anyone during his incarceration. However, since they have the BSL wherein they used Lennox's "pit bull" looking characteristics as reference, he was sentenced to death even though he did not do anything wrong.
Are you aware of the BSL? Did you know that in some states Alaskan Malamutes are also listed in the BSL?
