'Dog Racism' Decried at Co-op That May Use DNA Tests to Ban Breeds

(Anonymous) 2015-06-21 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
The co-op board of a luxury Upper West Side tower has instituted a doggy-discrimination policy that requires pet-owning residents to prove the breeds of their pooches, ruffled residents say.
...
The board members want to know the pet’s genetic make-up because it has a long list of dogs that “are not permitted to reside in the building based upon documented information regarding their tendency towards aggressiveness,” the policy says.

The list of outlawed pooches includes such pint-sized breeds as a Maltese or a Pomeranian.

“It’s like dog racism essentially,” one barking-mad dog-owning resident said of the new policy. “It’s beyond offensive, it’s intrusive.”

if they're going to check if a dog is aggressive they should check the owners first lmao

this method won't stop aggressive dogs from moving in, those aggressive dogs will just be labs and goldens
