Vicious is not a breed
A Canadian politico has an alternative to the proposed breed ban:
Julia Munro, the Conservative member for the riding of York North, introduced a private member’s bill that would, if passed, define a vicious dog in law and toughen penalties for their owners.
”I’m offering this bill to show that there is a positive alternative to the attorney general’s bill,” Munro told a news conference.
”Vicious dogs are a problem in our province, but a breed ban is not the way to solve the problem.”
Munro’s bill would define a vicious dog as one that bites or otherwise injures a human being and subject their owners to jail terms of up to two years and fines of up to $60,000.
It’s good to see a proposal that bases the criteria for viciousness on a dog actually being proven to be, you know, vicious.
