In the realm of breed-neutral legislation, the United States is much more progressive than Canada (it hurts to say it, but it’s true). While the province of Ontario is the largest geographical breed ban in North America and the province of Quebec considers following on its heels, nearly half of American states have passed legislation against breed discrimination within their borders.
