This is an interesting article. Wonder if it was distributed to places with or considering BSL if it might make a difference?

I've got a bunch of relatives in Calgary, and one thing is for sure true, they are down to earth, common sense types. It's nice to see some of that good Alberta common sense in action!

I wonder what exactly is considered and non-bite agressive complaint. Maybe being chased?

I wish I could say that here. The county and most cities are very aggressive against dogs that bite whether it was a harmless accident or not. The police have been known to shoot dogs here with little or no provocation or reason other than their own individual fear of dogs. One cop shot a dog that was trying to protect it's injured owner. They wouldn't listen to the owner at all. There reason, the owner was injured and the dog would not let them pass. They didn't even bother to wait for animal control who arrived a couple of minutes after they killed the dog.

That's sickening. My dogs and I stay as far away from the law as we possibly can. I don't trust them as far as I can see them.
