Madison, Wisconsin seeks to implement ordinances that destigmatize pit bulls. According to the Badger Herald, Adl. John Strasser of District 14 said the new rules are the result of collaboration between local humane societies, shelter veterinarians, and the HSUS. As part of a broader package aimed at enhanced animal welfare, the proposal prohibits residential breeding of dogs (with exception of service animals and competition breeding), which includes pit bulls. If an owner violates the breeding laws or lets his or her dog run at large, Dane County Animal Services can order that the animal be spayed or neutered. Overall, the hope is to end the bias against pit bull-type dogs and increase animal welfare. This may be in stark contrast to the number of cities and counties that ban possession of the breed outright through breed-specific legislation (BSL). To learn more about local BSL, see the Overview.
