Oklahoma State Lawmaker Proposes Ban of Pit Bull D...
Published July 11, 2005
Please sign this petition to tell Paul Wesselhoft that he is wrong for banning this wonderful breed. These dogs are wonderful members of our families not the devil in canine cloths. look at what he wan to do!
"Now the incident has moved a state lawmaker to author legislation that will effectually ban the pit bull breed in Oklahoma.
Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, R-Moore, said that in the next legislative session he will introduce a bill – modeled after a municipal ordinance in Denver that has withstood two separate legal challenges – to get rid of the pit bull.
In researching the topic, Wesselhoft says he has reviewed over a thousand articles and legal cases related to pit bull attacks, which often end in death or mutilation of the victims.
“Many people who own pit bulls say that it’s other owners who train their pit bulls to be vicious – that there aren’t bad pit bulls, just bad pit bull owners,” Wesselhoft said. “But the fact is that these dogs are bred to fight until their prey is killed.”
Long before he became a legislator, Wesselhoft says he noticed news stories from around the country detailing how pit bull terriers had attacked and mauled people of all ages, including young children.
But when a pit bull attacked three-year-old Cody Yelton of Moore, who was supposedly trying to pet the animal, Wesselhoft believed the time had come to take action.
“Each time I read about one of these attacks or see the story on TV, I tell my wife Judy, ‘That dog ought to be outlawed,’” Wesselhoft said. “Now that it’s happened to one of my constituents, I’ve got to do this.
