Why Montreal’s Pit Bull Ban Is Bad Public Policy

UPDATE 10/06: Montreal’s dogs were granted a reprieve yesterday by a Quebec Superior Court judge, who suspended the city’s new BSL bylaw indefinitely following a legal challenge brought by the Montreal SPCA. The judge recommended the city "return to the drawing board" due to the bylaw’s lack of clarity, particularly regarding how to identify the targeted dog breeds. Montreal’s mayor has vowed to appeal the suspension, but it is expected to remain in effect for at least the next few months.
