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.

I support this petition. I have owned 5 pit bulls that are the most loving breed I have ever owned. This breed is very smart. They play tug of war with my 3 year old and know what level of strength to pull with for my son. They are loyal. I got bit by a ****zu-made me bleed. Hurt like hell. I have a scar. It\'s the owners!!!!!!! The breed is innocent. Please do not make us get rid of our precious pet who is a part of our family. Get rid of the irresponsible owners who want to fight them for illegal purpose.

Rapest\'s and murderers get second chances all the time and are relaeased back on to our streets but this breed can not be forgiven because of what man has made it do to gain this rep. go to a local dog show and see you this breed is really like and you will understand the true colors of the american pit bulls terrier

I support this petition. I don't care what Wesselhoft or anyone says, Pitbulls were not bred for fighting. It is individuals who has done that and made people think that. I myself thought that for a long time. I got to know pit owners and got to know other wise. I now am a pit owner and would never think of fighting my dog. If anyone will take the time to look on the internet, there is a lot on the history and heritage of the pit bull. Pits are just like any other dogs, they are just a dog. Heck I could put two poms together and make them fight in a pit, does that make that breed now a mean dog? I support taking away anti breed laws and move to come down on people who abuse animals of all kinds.
