Dumb and Dubliner: City Council Goes for the Dogs

The Dog Politics blog notes that the brain trust which is the Dublin City Council has just passed one of the most sweeping breed bans in history. As of this morning, the following breeds are banned from public housing in the city, and the push is on to ban them from the parks and sidewalks as well:

  • English Bull Terriers
  • Staffordshire Bull Terriers
  • American Pit Bull Terriers
  • German Shepherds (Alsatian)
  • Rottweilers
  • Dobermans
  • Rhodesian Ridgebacks
  • Japanese Akitas
  • Bull Mastiffs
  • Bandogs
  • Japanese Tosas
