Why is this campaign important to you?
American pitbull terriers and American staff terriers are two of the most loyal dog breeds around. They're amazing with children and adults alike and contrary to what many believe, they are excellent with other animals if properly socialized. All BSL does is hurt innocent dogs and responsible owners. People involved in Pit bull fighting and irresponsible owners don't bother to abide by laws so BSL doesn't stop the irresponsible, all it does it penalize the innocent.Thousands of pitbulls...
…American pitbull terriers and American staff terriers are two of the most loyal dog breeds around. They're amazing with children and adults alike and contrary to what many believe, they are excellent with other animals if properly socialized. All BSL does is hurt innocent dogs and responsible owners. People involved in Pit bull fighting and irresponsible owners don't bother to abide by laws so BSL doesn't stop the irresponsible, all it does it penalize the innocent.Thousands of pitbulls have been destroyed since BSL was passed in 2005. Thousands of innocent dogs who did nothing wrong - they were killed because of their physical characteristics - NOT because they attacked someone or had any aggression issues.If you buy into this media nonsense about all pitbulls being evil dog fighting animals with lock jaws then I urge you to make up your own mind and not let the media + government make it up for you. Visit a shelter,go to a BSL rally. Meet local pitbulls in the flesh-see for yourself
This is Benny. He's 8 yrs old now. Adopted from the toronto humane society just after BSL was passed. He is grandfathered and legal in ontario. He was one of the lucky ones. He belongs to a friend of mine. He grew up with my now passed dog Monty and spent hours upon hours playing with him and snuggling up to sleep next to him. He will allow any person or dog to take his food from him while he's eating, he is a pathetic excuse for a guard dog and watch dog as he doesn't bark and if a stranger walks in the house all he does is approach them in hopes of being petted. He has played gently and lovingly with my son over the years and he has been a loyal, well adjusted and happy companion to his family. He is testament to American staffs and pitbulls everywhere and is a fantastic example of his breed. He is one of the lucky ones who was adopted out and not destroyed.
ban bad government.... not dogs...ban bad owners....not dogs....they need our help and support....love thy pitbull forever
The best dogs our family ever owned were pits & I would have never wanted 2 own another breed of dog after Black & Princess died. They had a litter of 12 pups & they were adopted by close friends, so we got 2 watch them all grow up. Every single pup was absolutely adored by their owners & became a member of their family - not just a watchdog who was kept in the yard 2 scare away potential thieves.
Thats sooo cool that u remember them! When we lived in Bridgeview they had a litter of like 15 pups & we gave them all 2 friends who had them 4 years after that! Jay kept 1 pup that he named Dagon - he was the best looking pit I ever saw!
This is important to me because it is ANIMAL RACISM and it i 100% wrong. its like turning around and and say a native- americam are savage so we must kill them.... Once again our government thinks they are doing the right thing, but really your just just killin hundreds of thounds to millions of innocent dogs. I own one of these amazing dogs, she is turley amazing. she's great with my 5 year old, my cats and my horses. She is 7 years old and not once have I had a problem with her she's great with people an all animals.
The BSL is tantamount to canine profiling and is bringing about an animal holocaust, just as Hitler decimated the Jews and other groups of people the Nazis decided they didn't like the look of! Do we really want to regress to such atrocities and ignorance? Have we not learned ANYTHING from this huge stain on human history? If applied to any group of people today, would it be acceptable to impose such a law against anyone who has never committed any crime, simply for looking a certain way? Of...
…The BSL is tantamount to canine profiling and is bringing about an animal holocaust, just as Hitler decimated the Jews and other groups of people the Nazis decided they didn't like the look of! Do we really want to regress to such atrocities and ignorance? Have we not learned ANYTHING from this huge stain on human history? If applied to any group of people today, would it be acceptable to impose such a law against anyone who has never committed any crime, simply for looking a certain way? Of course not. It is completely UNACCEPTABLE and the BS bill must be repealed if we expect to be respected as a civilized, humane and intelligent species. Punish the deed and not the breed. Animal rights must trump such egregious human wrongs!!!
Its not the dog but owner. Idiots banning them need to.see Americas eugentics program. Which Hitler adopted from US. History lesson sterilized people who they deemed unfit!
They know when we are sick, when my boyfriend had a fever they were liking him to bring the fever down and they did it. When I got home from surgery they stay next to my bed and did not want to leave me alone. I know the are animal but they know. And the more I know my Dog the more I fell shame for the human kind.
