Calgary Dog Attacks Prompt Talk Of Muzzles and Breed Bans

A rash of serious dog attacks in Calgary has at least once city councillor suggesting ALL dogs be muzzled for their first year of life. Ward 2 Councillor, Joe Magliocca said that he will put forward a motion that would require all dog breeds to wear a muzzle for a year. Dogs would then be required to wear specific coloured bandanas to indicate their potential to be aggressive. Animal and Bylaw Services are also looking at possible rule changes when it comes to owning pit bulls and Rottweilers, as those dogs tend to be involved in the most attacks. Four serious dog attacks in five days in Calgary has renewed the debate on how to deal with the problematic trend. (Huffington Post Alberta)
