Jim Crosby interview on Dr. Sue radio show discussing Lennox and BSL
Notes
cannot tell ashes by dna test, so bcc could send family any old ashes and say it was Lennox
Jim Crosby would have done a much more extensive assessment evaluation of Lennox which he explained
What to do about BSL
Go talk to your local legislators face to face is best
They figure that if one constituent talks to them in person that equals, l = 1,000
Tell them that Bsl does not work, is not fair
Propose alternative stategies that address behaviors, give them an alternative to BSL.
New bill in Wales focuses on Behavior Not Breed
Should be quantifiable behavior across all breeds with levels of danger and punishment/solutions for each depending on what the danger is
for dog bite incidents
get a warning, get a fine, have to get training, meet some standards, if you don’t do, you go to jail
Jim is going to be teaching folks in the UK about dogs, to work with them, train them how to react, what to look for
There is no one in the UK with Jim’s experience with aggressive and truly dangerous dogs
Humans have responsibilities and should go to jail, and be held accountable… need to look at what did the dog do and why and don’t just say the dog did it or blame breeds
we did racial profiling (we still do in some states, Arizona) with humans, oh that guy looks like a criminal, put him in jail, now kill him…
teach the kids too
educate people and kids on how to treat a dog
If a dog is abused affects a dog’s behavior, starts with the owner
Animal abuse is a known precursor to people abuse
Authorities have to take animal cruelty more seriously
Assess the threat… Dachsunds lead the pack in dog bites, number one …
Lennox is the straw that broke our backs, so many people from so many countries, came together to support Lennoxes cause, we have a responsibility to Lennox to keep this ball rolling
Instead of bsl, there are dogs we have to protect people from, big dogs or little ones
We need to focus on educating legislators around world based on observable and quantifiable behavior not on looks
Racial profiling, we should be learning that we can only control behavior not breeds
Human behavior, human responsibility. place the burden on good and bad human behavior
It is inhumane to punish people or dogs based on looks… has to be based on behavior
Enough is enough
If someone shows up at your door without a warrant, don’t just let them take your dog away, make them take it thru the legal process… defend your dog, resources in uk, dda watch,be courteous but don’t let them take your dog without a warrant…
Make them follow their own rules
Don’t sign papers, if you sign the papers, you are giving them permission to kill your dog, death warrant, don’t sign your rights away
Follow the rules, but make the authorities follow the rules too
Free legal aid in UK
Make sure the attorney understands this dog is part of your family
Question the qualifications of their experts… if they’re using experts
Does the expert meet the criteria?
Don’t give up
Due process
Just because someone complains about your dog does not mean that all is lost
Lennox court document, final
other bloggers opinions
danger of dogs and pit bull attacks
With a US population of 311,591,917 (July 2011) and that year’s 15 dog attack fatalities, your chances of dying in a dog attack (from all breeds combined) is 1 in 20,772,794….almost 21 MILLION! One in over *30 MILLION* from a Pit-Bull or Pit-Mix.
STATISTICALLY in the UNITED STATES, GUESS WHAT BREED TOPPED THE LIST FOR BITES THAT CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES TO PEOPLE? – Hospital statistics prove it was HUMANS. New York City alone has more people hospitalized with human bites per year than bites by every breed of dog combined in the whole world.
(Humans need to be banned, too.)
How serious is that pit bull threat again???
