To find out, it would require some kind of statistical analysis and for that, we'd need data on dog population, BSL "breeds" population, BSL based euthanasias, etc. and I'm not sure we can get that data (I actually don't think anyone keeps that data).<BR/><BR/>My gut feeling is that in the last couple of years, at Toronto Animal Services South, because there has been more of a rescue philosophy in running the shelter, BSL does not play a huge role in skewing the numbers. I can't say that's the same with the other Toronto shelters (only because I have no experience with them) and I can't say the same for even the South shelter when BSL was first introduced 3 - 4(?) years ago because I wasn't there at the time.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243247582677457166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-77632694237453006802009-03-29T08:30:00.000-04:002009-03-29T08:30:00.000-04:00Does BSL have anything to do with the reduction in...Does BSL have anything to do with the reduction in stray dogs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-80875822105928429682009-03-28T20:20:00.000-04:002009-03-28T20:20:00.000-04:00wow! sorry to comment again but that was a great r...wow! sorry to comment again but that was a great read. The article even listed our stats for 2008. How many were taken in, adopted out, euthanized, reunited with owners. So glad you posted this Fred. Its about time TAS south got some media attention outlining their hard work. This is a very positive step in the right direction!<BR/><BR/>SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-57872731107539956522009-03-28T19:47:00.000-04:002009-03-28T19:47:00.000-04:00This is really great.
