Stop Breed Banning Now

Sign the Petition : 836 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.Stop Breed Banning Now

    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).

    Some of the best family dogs I have ever met are pit bulls. Some of the worst have been little toy breeds that you would never dream of banning. Please, look at the individual dog, its personality, upbringing, and training - not just the breed with which it is labeled.

    Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Dobermans are 3 of my FAVORITE breeds. They are absolutely gorgeous and loyal. Yet, I cannot own these breeds in certain locations because of the heartless, incompetent dog owners who cannot love nor train these animals to fulfill their role as loving and loyal companions. In fact, I currently own a mutt who most likely has rottweiler and chow chow in him, 2 breeds that tend to be banned. Despite this, he is VERY loving and very sweet. Yes he is protective and has a big bark, yet, he runs and hides behind his family if somebody approaches him. In fact, he has continuously allowed a 21 mo. old to TAKE toys from him - a behavior that many would claim would cause aggression. He is not "special" nor "different" as many would view him, he is simply the norm. I challenge people to get to know a well trained and loved dog which falls within the category of a "bully breed." I bet you'll find out that those who have been raised correctly are not at all like they have been portrayed.
