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 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.

I SUPPORT THIS PETITION!!! I own 3 pitbulls, one of which just had a litter of puppies. None of them have ever shown any kind of bad temper toward us. i also have a 1 year old son who they absolutley love and adore. And yes i know they are some that have done bad things, but its how they were bred and raised. Its not just pits that turn. I've seen, a poodle and a schnauzer turn on someone in the blink of an eye... I FIND IT REALLY SAD THAT SENATORS AND OTHERS CAN BE SO QUICK TO PUT 100'S OF PIT BULLS DOWN, BUT YET THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MURDERED AND TORTURED ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THAT ARE STILL ALIVE AND JUST GET LIFE IN PRISON OR SOME CRAP... THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SHOULD BE SHOT... DONT BLAME THE DOGS, BLAME THE OWNERS

I support this petition. Not every story u here about this breed is against them. As overly spoken as it is, pit bulls, just like any other breed, are a product of their owners. What's next after this breed? Do you think banning pit bulls will get them out of the state of Oklahoma? Do you think underground dog fights will cease to continue? I hate people who use them for that purpose. If you listen to all of the negitivity about the breed, and ban them, there will be someone out there who's gonna find the next breed to ruin. Don't tear apart families and responsible owners because of those who cannot handle the responsibility of owning the great American Pit Bull Terrier. There's so much about this breed, that if you research them, and spend time around them, you will find can be channeled into a positive light. The family pit bull takes 3 bullets to the head to save its owners from an intruder. Here's the address to the site: ht tp: //ww w. news9. com /global /story .asp?s=9494086. Though the media likes to blow all of the bad things way out of proportion, there is far more good than bad that comes out of the great American Pit Bull Terrier. Don't take that away from us.
