Building Safe Communities
Safe communities don’t have to be discriminatory
Proactive animal ordinances combined with outreach efforts are the most effective way to create safe communities.
We have to work together
“ As I read the legislation, it was clear that this was motivated from a place of deep emotion. My experience has taught me that almost every single instance of proposed breed specific legislation is motivated by emotion – a reaction to a single, frightening event. Or maybe it is a reaction to something frightening that could have happened, but didn’t. BSL is always about the fear of not being safe in our own communities.”
Our education leaflet pdf includes:
- Responsible ownership models
- Information on the ineffectiveness of mandatory spay/neuter laws
