Stop Breed Banning Now

Sign the Petition : 876 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

Why is it that responsible pet owners are being punished because of the sadistic acts of irresponsible pet owners, as well as the propaganda pushed onto to the public by an ill informed media. When will it stop? When all of our beloved dogs are banned entirely? Why is it that the dogs are getting sentenced to death while the perpetrators of these horrendous crimes are getting off with a slap on the wrist? These dogs did not asked to be fought and abused. They certainly did not ask to be put to death or banned because of stereotyping and bad owners. Please help us by passing laws that instate harsher punishment for dog fighting and neglect. Help us help those dogs that are abused try and make a new life with a good family, by rehabilitation on a case-by-case basis. Not judging them by so called breed aggression standards. Give all the breeds that have a bad wrap a chance to prove that all they want is to make their families happy and to live a good life.

    Losing my dog would be like losing one of my children. Please stop BSL and focus on prosecuting dog fighters.

    Dog lovers that own a Pit Bull know how loving and sweet these dogs are and it's a shame that there is discrimination with this breed. Would you discriminate by the color of someone's skin? If not, why is it happening to Pit Bulls? The awful people that fight these dogs do it because they are strong but how does that make the dog killers? The people that fight these beautiful dogs are the killers and they need to be punished, not the dogs!

    It's not the breed it's the owner. A responsible dog owner should not pay for another's irresponsible act.

    People report to the media that the breed was a pit bull when in fact it was mistaken as a pit bull. My son found a web site with 26 different photo's of dogs. It asked you to pick the pit bull. I own a pit bull and I couldn't pick it out on my first try. The media reports that pit bulls have the highest attack rate, however no data is collected to keep track of what type of dogs attack. How is it possible to report the above statement with no data to back that statement up? Have you ever watch animal cops? The pit bulls they rescue don't ever need to be muzzled, why because pit bulls love people! Even with this fact they are needlessly put down. Dogs that are aggressive are not socialized and/or abused by their owners. This can happen with any breed not just pit bulls. Punish the owner for that not the breed.

    The ATTS Temperament Test focuses on and measures different aspects of temperament such as stability, shyness, aggressiveness and friendliness as well as a dogs instinct for protectiveness towards it's handler and/or self-preservation in the face of threat.
    The Pit Bull ranks higher (better) than many dogs with a 85%. Here are just a FEW of the dogs that Pits score higher than: Bichon Frise, Border Collie, Collie, Cavalier King Charles, Chihuahua, Shar Pei, Dachshund, Dalmation, Dobermanm, Dandie Dinmont, German Shepherd, Schnauzer, Great Dane, Jack Russel Terrier, Lhasa Apso, Miniature Poodle, Pomeranian, Old English Sheepdog, Shih Tzu, Samoyed, Yorkshire Terrier, and many many more!
    Pit Bulls are a breed typically banned. A closer examination of temperament needs to be studied before making rash judgment against one breed.
    Think of the resiliency of the breed. After Michael Vicks insane treatment almost ALL of these dogs were placed in loving families. How many other breeds could survive and have a good outlook on life?
    The Michael Vicks of the world need harsher penalties also.

    As Karan said, it's the owner not the breed.
    Be a responsible breeder (if you feel you have to breed at this time with so many unwanted dogs in this world).
