It does punish the responsible dog owner. People have a hard time just getting regular homeowner's insurance with certain breeds. Now they have to get an additional liability insurance. My breeder in CT tried to do that. She called 23 insurance companies asking for a liability policy. She couldn't get it when she told them that she had rottweilers. It didn't matter that she had the #2 conformation rottweiler in the nation and BOB Westminster the year before. She couldn't get the insurance.
If you think it is so easy, go ahead and try to get it and don't forget to tell the agent that you have rottweilers. See how long it takes and how much it costs. This IS BSL disguised as an all breed measure. Don't kid yourself about that.
I don't think that anyone should think this measure is acceptable. It is only a backdoor measure to BSL. Just look at the title- the city doesn't care if owners of some breeds can't get insurance. This measure was done with a purpose- to get rid of the listed breeds.
