The dog is the most lovable pet, and we love to be with this animal.
A human and a dog’s relationship is one based on mutual understanding, love, and loyalty, and hopefully, you and your dog have all three.
We all love our Pets, we feel happy and relaxed with our pets. Animals are smart, clever and sometimes more intelligent than us. They are too moody, or dramatic sometimes. Sometimes, they behave like kids.
A dog spent his final hours playing and having fun before being put to sleep due to an “outdated and ineffective” law.
Bailey had his life ended because of how he looks – but today, the government said it would not commit to changing the law.
The RSPCA wants a change to the Dangerous Dogs Act – also known as breed specific legislation (BSL) – after putting to sleep 81 dogs in 2017 due to their appearance.
RSPCA chief veterinary officer Caroline Allen said: “Bailey was a lovely, friendly, happy dog. He was gentle and kind, playful and fun-loving.
“In any other circumstances we’d have helped him get better, sent him to one of our rehoming centers and found him a wonderful family to spend the rest of his life with.
“But Bailey’s life was tragically and unfairly cut short due to BSL.”
Dr. Sam Gaines, RSPCA dog welfare expert and lead author on the Breed Specific Legislation: A Dog’s Dinner report, said: “Bailey’s story is heartbreaking and, sadly, it’s one I hear all too often.
“These are dogs who have shown no signs of aggressive behavior and given no indications that they would be unsuitable for rehoming.
“They pose no risk to public safety but are labeled ‘dangerous’ simply because they look a certain way.
“They’ve scored a certain number of ticks on a checklist and that has sealed their fate.
“BSL is an outdated, ineffective and unjust piece of legislation that urgently needs replacing.
“We need to change this law not only to save the lives of thousands of more dogs like Bailey but also to better protect public safety.”
As the RSPCA explains on its website: “In the UK, BSL bans the ownership of four different types of dogs traditionally bred for fighting: pit bull terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Braziliero.
“Dogs suspected of being a banned type are typically seized by the police and can spend significant time in kennels away from their owners during which they are assessed to determine whether or not the dog is a banned type.
“Whilst some dogs will return home to be kept under strict conditions, sadly, some have to be euthanized – because of the way they look.”
The RSPCA and other welfare organizations and charities are calling on the Government to repeal the law and replace it with something that better protects public safety and dog welfare.
They also want there to be more focus on early intervention with dogs who demonstrate concerning behavior – no matter their breed – and on educating people, particularly children, how to be safe around dogs.
RSPCA dog welfare expert Dr. Sam Gaines, who was a lead author on a report about BSL, added: “Bailey’s story is heartbreaking and, sadly, it’s one I hear all too often.
“They’ve scored a certain number of ticks on a checklist and that has sealed their fate.
However, the government has announced this week that it would not commit to any changes at this time.
