BREED-SPECIFIC PROPOSAL IN MINNESOTA
(AKA BREED BAN):
Recently, Rep. John Lesch (DFL - St. Paul) announced a proposal for a state ban on the ownership of Akitas, Chow Chows, Rottweilers, wolf hybrids, Pit Bulls, or mixed-breed dogs with the traits of any of these breeds. He plans to present his legislation at the opening of the next session. Ownership of any of the breeds in question would be punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Homeward Bound opposes breed bans and all breed-specific legislation (BSL). We have a page devoted to Homeward Bound's opinion regarding BSL, so please go to it and read more about this absurd proposal.
