This is the government taking away your rights as citizens to own a certain breed just because of its breed. Not because of actual innocents or guilt. Cities and towns will ban certain breeds including our loving Pit Bulls just because they think they are dangerous. Instead of going behind who is really to blame for a dog attack…. The owners. Breeds around the USA that are banned in towns and cities are, Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Staffordshire Terriers, American Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and Bull Terriers.

There are 25 breeds of dog that look like and are condemned every year, which cost them their life for dog attacks, as a “Pit Bull” .

http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petbull/findpit.html Can you find the Pit Bull on the first try? Most owners of these breeds are the same people who vote for the BSL. They must not realize that their loving family members could be to blame for an attack and put to sleep under euthanasia. Will you be able to prove your dogs innocence when the blame is facing them as a wrongful breed?

A certain breed is never at fault for any attacks. All breeds of dogs are all an example of breeding other breeds together until you get an ending result. One breed. In EX. Labradoodles. They took a Lab and a poodle and crossed them until a fixed breed was established. This goes for all breeds. Also dogs do not attack because they wake up one morning and decide it will be a wonderful day outside to go and bite the neighbors. Dogs who attack are provoked, trained, neglected, abused, highly mistreated, or lack of knowledge from owners. No breed or Dog is born aggressive. It is what happens in the coarse of that one dog’s life that creates the monster in the dog not the breed or the dog itself. So in other words. Humans are to blame for the dog attacks not the breeds. Breed specific legislation is only creating more problems by banning these breeds. People who choose to have an aggressive dog or a dog who will attack someone will pick on any breed. Not just the Pit Bulls or Rottweillers. Once there are no more Pit Bulls they will move to other breeds. A lab can do as much damage as a Pit Bull if in the wrong temperament. How would everyone feel if the cities they lived in said you could no longer have your loving Lab member?

If we allow cities to place these bans we will only drive away truly responsible owners and the type of owners who are willing and responsible enough to care properly for these breeds and prove these breeds to be loving family owners not vicious attack dogs.

Many of these breeds are wonderful working dogs that take the sides of many police, handicap, search and rescue organizations, drug sniffing, therapy and many other owners. By having such bans only drives these dogs out of cities that have a demand or a need for such working dogs. These dogs have proven themselves to be better then some other breeds on some cases and yet we as citizens are forced to settle without such wonderful working dogs because of their breeds.

Ban dangerous dogs not a breed. By doing this, your city is protecting you from ALL dangerous dogs. So if your neighbor to the right owns an aggressive Pointer while the owner to the left has a Pit Bull that is a search and rescue dog. You know that you are safe if your city requires the Pointer to find a new home or go threw some serious training. Why condemn the Pit Bull to the right when you know your kids can climb all over his back? Protect the rights of all citizens by passing laws against dangerous dogs. Help them also pass laws that state the public nuisance act against barking, leashes, fences, and proper care.

Encourage your city, shelters, or local trainers to hold seminars showing and demonstrating while teaching owners of your city the proper and safe ways to care for their dogs. Use public education as a tool to help ALL citizens of your city to remain safe.
