is on the rise around the world. BSL targets specific breeds of canine and either (A) restricts them severely or (B) completely bans them from areas.

Countries like Germany, Australia, England, Italy and France have bans on the American Pit Bull Terrier and the ones that were already living in the country are restricted.

Usually the law states the dogs must be muzzled and on a very short 12 inch leash when out in public. Special kennels or enclosures are required, even on your own personal property.

BSL is very much alive in the United States and the APBT is the number one target for such laws. Followed by Amstaff's, Rott's, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Expensive insurance is also required in many of the cities where BSL have been accepted. Sometimes it can be as high as $200,000 per dog. Hundreds of cities, towns, and states are implementing BSL.

BSL is nothing more than breed profiling and as of yet it has not worked to curb the amount of serious dog attacks it was put in place to stop.
