(27,985 posts)* Singapore also bans Akitas. And hedgehogs. And 7 other critters including ferrets!
* The Netherlands no longer bans them, look it up. It was lifted in 2008. After fifteen years, it has been found that the ban has been ineffective.
* Poland bans 11 breeds including American bulldogs and Rotties
* France includes German Shepherds and Rotties in their ban as well
* Germany bans EIGHTEEN breeds
* Puerto Rico *is* the US... and they don't ban, but have regulations that should apply to all large dogs
* New Zealand has heavy restrictions on all dogs, and bans importing on several
* Italy - INEFFECTIVE BAN LIFTED - regulations enacted for all breeds (which is what many of us "fucking stupid emotional Americans" want, BTW)
* Australia - see NZ
* Ecuador also bans Rotties
* Denmark has breed ban on 13 breeds - and it's not working. Dog attacks are significantly HIGHER since enacted.
Ok.... your turn to show me any data that BSL works.
