I seen on CNN News today about Virginias new law about the dangerous dogs breed list. If you own a dog that is on the list you have to; spay/neuter the animal, pay a registration fee of $100, $35 renewal fee annually, get a special dog collar that is the color red and it has "DANGEROUS" printed on it so that when you take them out of your property they will be recognized publicly, and have DANGEROUS DOG sign on your property that has like a drawing of a German Shephard showing its teeth.
It is the pet as an individual, not the breed, and 99% of it is the owners that make a dog the way it is, I just dont understand this stupid law. I noticed boxers are on their list as well and if it is mixed with one that is on there they are to get the same treatment. I think this is just ridiculous. All it is , is that the state is just trying to find a new way of making more money. If i lived there i would tell them to shove off and i wouldnt do any of that crap just because my dogs breed is on a stupid list. I know i am not the best pet owner out there but i dont make my dog vicious, yeah Zeus has a behavioral issue while he is on the lead and there is a reason behind that but not towards people. They are both the sweetest and playfulest ones when they arent on a lead. There are reasons if a dog is vicious and it angers me that they put it out there just because of a breed of an animal. A little chihauha could be more vicious than the dogs on the lists.
If Texas comes up with this same type of deal, they are going to be writing me lots of tickets and citations because i will not and i refuse to go by these laws.
