RESOLVED, That the American Bar Association urges all state, territorial, and local legislative bodies and governmental agencies to adopt comprehensive breed-neutral dangerous dog/reckless owner laws that ensure due process protections for owners, encourage responsible pet ownership and focus on the behavior of both dog owners and dogs, and to repeal any breed-discriminatory or breed-specific provisions.

• 1. Dogs of the same breed were selected for physical appearance that is why they all look so similar.
• 2. The physical appearance of a dog does not provide any clue as to its behavior.
(Knowing a dog has a short snout and long hair doesn't give us any info on whether it is afraid of thunder storms or gets along well with cats)

Reckless owners
Reckless owners should be held accountable
- no exceptions and no excuses
Bad owners lead to bad dogs and that puts everyone at risk.

Waste of Tax Dollars

• $1 million if the StateImplemented a breeddiscriminatory law

Burden of Proof
If a city enacts a breed-discriminatory law, the city has the burden of proof.
Penal: BEYOND a reasonable doubt
Civil: Preponderance of evidence
![Page 21: Dog Breed Ban Bill SB 75 Presentation for South Dakota Legislature](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103110/548443bab4af9ff12b8b45c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
City of Pierre v. Blackwell635 N.W. 2d 581 (SCt. S.D. 2001)
The city brought criminal charges, thus it needed to prove one of the elements, that the dog was dangerous beyond a reasonable doubt. Both sides presented evidence of the “dangerousness” of the dog at trial, but the court did not make an independent assessment of the evidence. It relied solely on the finding of the animal control officer.
There was no independent determination of “dangerous” by a neutral judicial officer as a part of the criminal proceeding. The court goes on to discuss that this would have failed a procedural due process claim in the civil context, too, without exigent circumstances.
Here, the court just reviewed the animal control officer’s decision for legality and due process was not satisfied.

There is nothing “specific” about breed-specific legislation

PROPERTY RIGHTS
This is America. Every American who
follows the right safety rules as a responsible dog owner should be allowed to own whatever breed of dog they choose-
it’s that simple.
