Quick links to AVMA, other anti-BSL studies

Instead of having to hunt for this every time you need it, here are a few quick links to reputable sources of studies that debunk BSL

Coalition for Living Safely with Dogs

This group of animal control professionals and shelters has probably put more into collecting data than anyone recently, and concludes: “The existence of dangerous dogs arises from a complex set of social issues and cannot be effectively addressed by breed specific legislation.”

American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) “A Community Approach to Dog Bite Prevention.”

“Dog bite statistics are not really statistics, and they do not give an accurate picture of dogs that bite. Invariably the numbers will show that dogs from popular large breeds are a problem. This should be expected, because big dogs can physically do more damage if they do bite, and any popular breed has more individuals that could bite.”
