I am against banning "pitbulls" in any town, city, county, state or country. These dogs are no different then any other breed. They are loyal and loving and perform many duties for us. They are service dogs, drug and bomb dogs, therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs and so much more. Please reconsider your stand on this ban. I am shocked that this cruelty is taking place. How can anyone look themselves in the mirror everyday knowing they caused the death of so many dogs? I will move to the ends of the earth to protect my dog from people like this. My American Pitbull Terrier is training to become a Therapy Dog. He loving and loyal and has never shown any aggression towards anyone or anything.Please research this wonderful breed before spreading lies and prejudice.

Dear Mr. Bryant,
I'm a Canadian living in Japan, who has had enough of the nanny state. My hometown is Waterloo Ontario, but while I lived in Vancouver I got a petition drive of my own going. I recieved over 450 signatures at that time in the late 1980s. I presented this petition(that is on record there) to the then mayor Gordan Campbell at session. Dispite my successful lobblying of three city coucillors we lost the vote. This is a non-stop attack on all things that scare cowardly untight people. We must organize ourselves with others under threat from these same busy-bodies. I offer my signature and much more. My focus is larger, yet still includes the 4 friendly Pitbulls and one Boarder Collie I have had over the years. Such an honorable breed deserves an honorable defense. I look forward to joining forces with anyone in this fight. I have never tired of this fight and hope your other signers will also see that these people will never be happy with just your dogs, they will be after anything they fear.
the owners are responsible for what their pets do, they were obviously not brough up properly, maybe pitbulls should only be sold to people of a certain age to make sure that they are taken care of better! Punish the deed not the dog! Any dog can bite or attack.
Blame the owners. I own a pit bull mix and he is the sweetest of my 4 large dogs. BSL is assinine. You cannot blame an entire breed of species for specific dogs' actions (which are the owners/breeders faults). Every dog bite is a humans' fault.
It's not the dog's fault that they are vicious, it's the people who train them to be this way. Any breed of dog can be trained to be vicious. In other words it's the owners that need to be punished. The only thing that I think should happen out of all of this is if someone wants to own a dog that is considered "mean" they have to have the dog in some kind of obedience school. To have well trained Pitbulls muzzeled is not fair to them. Why punished them if they have done nothing wrong? All different kinds of dogs attact everyday, it's just sad that the media only points out the Pitbulls! If Pitbulls are banned people are just going to get bigger and stronger dogs like Canary's, Bullmastif's, ect. and train THEM to "attact"!!!!!!
This is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard of. Has the attorney general ever had any exposure to pitbulls. They are one of the nicest dogs I have ever dealt with. The ban of the staffordshire bull terrier is totally unfair. If he ever did any kind of research he would find that this breed is one of the best family dogs that is an great companion for children. The reason for banning the pitbull is to stop the dog from attacking people. If you actaully look at the owners of the dogs that have attacked you would know why the dog is vicious. They are irresponsible idoits that don't care about anything but themselves. Do you honestly think that this type of person is not just going to go out and find another breed of dog to exploit their own selfish behaviour. There are much more powerful and vicious dogs out there such as the canary dog and cane corso that could be way more dangerous for these people to have. Do you think your ban is going to stop dog attacks because if you do I feel sorry for this country to be led by people like you.
signed can't wait untill you have taken any freedom our choses we have in living our lives
I dont understand how they can ban a breed of dog and they let murderers and rapeist live in jail off tax payers. I own a pitbull and she would not hurt a fly. I have a 11month old daughter and i trust a pitbull around her then any other dog. A friend of mine has a pomeranian and he is a little basterd he will bite anybody and anything. To me this is wrong on what they are doing, if they are going kill off a breed of dog then they should kill all murderers and all other breeds of dogs that bite people.
you can't just kill dogs. you should kill the idiots who think you can. i have a pitbull and i save the animals in danger that i find. i'm a vegetarian, and that odesn't even matter, but people who slaughter and kill animals are idiots, they thin kthey can just make up laws. pitbulls are sweet, just because they are strong doesn't mean they're gonna kill you. they'll help you. pitbulls are trains by asses who think that they can make some money. those stupid republicans think they own everything, well, all animals are incredible and are as free as humans. humans messed up the whole circle already. the people who think they can mess with animals should be killed and made to suffer.
...
My sister has a pit bull, and I love that dog. She's the nicest dog I've ever met, and she lets little kids jump on her and pull her tail, but if you try walking up to the other dog at their house he'll snap and growl. It's the dog, NOT THE BREED. It's the same thing as when whites said all blacks were bad. Not all pitbulls are bad, not all are good. Stereotypes are useless.
Why don't we implement stricter animal adoption laws to make sure that owners are mentally capable of properly raising the animal, rather then introducing a province wide genocide? ... Could it be because genocide of Pit Bulls is cheaper then their protection against bad owners?
i own a pittbull and he is friendly and kind. there is no reason to not accept them in ontario. a little over 1% of the reported bites were from pitbulls so back off.
I am against banning any one breed of dog. I think it's the owners who need to be trained. Common sense tells me owners must train their dogs and keep them under control.
pit bulls have been slandered for so many years, people are raising them the wrong way. if you raise it to fight and be aggressive that's what it willdo, raise it right you won't have that problem, i have had over 6-8 pits, i have never had an incicent where they attacked anyone because i raised them right.
I am dusgusted to see so much ignorance. I have literally been reading for WEEKS about these dogs and the most consistant thing I see is people who don't know any better calling their attacker a pitbull when in fact more often than not the dog is not a pitbull at all or it is a mutt that has pitbull in it but does anyone blame any of the other breeds in that dog? NO, it is automatically reported that it was a "pitbull dog" that attacked. You, my friend, must be the biggest idiot to be sucked into all this media hype and stupid people who wouldn't know a pitbull from a can of soup.I haven't heard anything bad about Pomeranians even though they have killed babies...or Retrievers or Chows or any of the other breeds that kill. You will make millions of people angry if this ban is upheld.
As written to the (not so honerable) attorney general:
As a well educated and long-time dog owner, I find myself physically sickened by the new dog ban legislation. I am distressed by the fact that no council has been sought from legitimate authorities on the matter.
Any educated professional can tell you that a dogs behaviour is a direct result of it's upbringing. It is commonly known within the dog community that Poodles and Chihuahuas are more dangerous as pets than "Pit bulls" (which are just a breed of terriers), Rottweilers, or other ill-reputed breeds.
The enactment of this legislation shows me, and a large portion of the community, how your government passes laws based on media presentation, and not social/scientific fact. No populous can trust or have faith in a government that enacts laws so childishly and immaturely.
I see this ban as a reaffirmation of racism. To suggest that a dog is dangerous because of it's breed is no different than suggesting that a man is more dangerous because of his race. You have clearly stated for me, and everyone else I know, that you will blindly ignore the social conditions of upbringing, and resort to illegitimate claims to propagate ignorance and prejudice.
I an a huge proponent of demanding responsibility of dog owners. I believe anyone who raises a dog is charged with rearing a well balanced, healthy companion. To this end, I do support the increased burden of responsibility placed on dog owners. However, the prejudice displayed by the government in respect to the ban is both concerning and upsetting.
I have always been proud of my country and province, believing that the politicians representing me maintained a higher level of intellect and education than those of other nations. You have very effectively disillusioned me to this point. I have lost all pride in my political representatives, and am ashamed to say that you represent me.
Signed with bitter disgust and grave disappointmen
This legislation from Mr. Bryant is a form of profiling, and is too general a method of isolating specific demographics that have a propensity to commit unlawful acts. This is a completely emotional reaction (remember Mr. Bryant, REASON OVER PASSION) to media's unjustifiably high coverage of Pit-Bull related attacks. People need to be responsible pet owners, regardless of breed.
People need to understand that it's not the breed of dog, it's the ignorant people who train and raise the dog's to be vicious. Every species has the capacity to be vicious, it's how they're brought up that brings out the viciousness, or not. The ban should not be put on the breed of dogs but instead the type of person that trains these precious animals to kill.
The funny thing is that the only real "pitbull" (American Pitbull Terrier) isn't even on this list of "pitbulls."
The government is basically just saying "If we say its a pitbull, its a pitbull."
Check out Dogs Dogs Dogs newspaper this month, there is a good article on this issue, apparently the government still banned them even though they were plainly being beaten at the hearing. Anyway, my point being is that the government doesn't even know what a pitbull is, so where do they get off banning them? All of the alleged dog attacks they keep saying 'pitbull type dog' is involved. Which is stupid. I bet if you did the research and found out what kind of dogs each one was in the attacks, that many would be mutts to the point where you can't even tell how many breeds are mixed together, and the others would all be different. Therefor making the score for pitbulls 1:1:1:1:1:1:1 if the government would get their act together and actually research what kind of dogs are involved.
Oh and for you staff fans... Staffs have been voted in the top ten of the best family pets.
Peace.
I have a amarican staff terrier,and a boxer pitbull mix and they are the nicest dogs you will ever meet. This propposed ban is nothing more than a bad idea in the long sad history of bad ideas. The thing that people who aggree with this ban seem to foget is that if it goes through, thousands of innocent dogs who have done nothing more than being born pitbulls are going to lose thier lives so what?stupid people can feel safe forgetting that there are sooo many scarier things out there than a pitbull.
Banning pitbulls is not a wise thing to do. If it goes through, the government will have to lash out at another breed of dogs, most likely the rotweiler. It's stupid because now we will be forced to own dogs that the government deams should be owned. If your going to ban one breed you might as well ban them all because all the breeds can be just a vicious.
I own a pit/dobermann mix and he is the sweetest dog ive ever known. Small dogs are more aggressive than big ones but when people get bit by a little dog they say, oh its ok. now if my dog did that hed be put down. its not the breed of dog that is the problem. its the owners and what has happened to the dog in the past. You should not ban an animal because of someone elses mistakes.
I know several people who have pitbull or pitbull mixes and they have never showed any aggression towards people. I move furniture for a living so i'm in and out of peoples houses with dogs allday. The only breeds of dog that have been aggresive with me have been german shepard mixs and border collie and border collie mixes. All dogs are capable of hurting or killing someone so why ban a certain breed just cuz there have been afew deaths throughout the country. I've heard that a woman was killed by a dashhound( weiner dogs). The banning of a breed is just any easy fix for a problem that is not that hard to handle.
all that should be done is educating the public with real statistics instead of the media filling peopls head with ideas of man eating monsters that cannot be controlled.
Inconclusion banning pitbulls is just and ignornat way of fixing a "Problem".
Peace out

I am Blind and have an American Staffordshire Terrier for a seeing eye dog and the bill goes through I will loose him, I waited 4 years to get him and I iv had him for 4 years also, he is my eyes. If the bill goes through I will have to wait another 4 years just to go out for a walk by my self.Any Ban should be based on facts and expert opinion and what a single politicion wants.
i have two pitbulls pure breeded, anyone who ever say pitbulls are man killer are obviously poisoned by the stupidity of the media's exageration, my pits grew up with my family of 5 and not once the pit show any aggression towards any of the members of my family or the public, why ban the pitbulls when its the owners who raised the dogs the way they are, banning this breed will break many hearts, my family and i love my pits to death, as many other families, terminating them u'll have to terminate me too, i love them like my own kids, my final word is, dont abolish a breed because of stupid owners, thats playing God.
I think that we should have a bill of rights for dogs! They have feelings too! Just like we do! Besides, it is a cruel and unusual punishment! Also, if they were 2 pit bulls, and one attacked a kid, then they became banned, it would definatly not be fair for the other pit bull!
I refuse to be told that my little girl is dangerous. She is one of the most loving animals I have ever known. She comforts me when I am sick, she even will lay wiht me until I fall asleep even though I toss and turn, she may hate it and be uncomfortable but she does it anyway cause she loves me. If we could depict one breed of dog that will not attack then I would sure like to know about it. ANY dog can be turned into a dangerous dog. The owner is most likely responsible--NOT THE BREED AND NOT THE DOG. Please if you have any heart at all you would stop picking on this poor animal and maybe put some of that time and energy trying to save this animal from being abused and used for violent acivities. If you had to give up the one thing that mattered to you most in life being a wife or and animal even a child, would you not FIGHT to keep it? I know that these people enforcing this are just trying to do there job but is it really necessary to throw away an innocent animal only guilty by association, instead of throwing away the people who make these animals this way!
I was once ignorant and fearful. It was the same feelings I had for pitbulls because of media sensation and uninformed politicians. That is, until I was fortunate enough to own a pitbull. It turns out that my new companion is the the most loving, most loyal of any dog-type I have ever encounter. BSL is a response to fear and total ignorance. It punishes innocence instead of targeting responsibility.
i have a pitbull she is my best friend i also have 3 grandchild age 5;4;1 she loves them they love her i refuse to get ride of my dog i think people should be ban for the way they abuse them not the dog they only listen to what people teach them.dogs are like kids they lern what there thought.
BSL is the ignorance of the Human Race.
If we shout "RACIST" that sould get some action! Oh I fogot its only when its againt people that can talk. Instead we pick on a living creature that cannot speak for themselves.! Selfish!
Michael Bryant needs to educate himself on the breed.The American Pit Bull Terrier Handbook by Joe Stahlkuppe published by Barron's gives the breeds history and heritage and everything related to their care and training. These dogs are not inborn human aggressive.Human aggression is the result of the irresponsible owners and crossbreeders.Fact is that a real pit breeder needs guard dogs to guard their pitts....pitts are easily stolen because of their good nature with humans..a stranger can easily steal them.Ignorant people are whats killing this breed.Micharl Bryant or anyone against pitts can come to my home and see the interaction between my pitt babies and my children and grandbabies.These are loving and loyals animals.Mine do well with cats too...sleep with them.Michael use your energy to stop dog fighting rings and stop the thugs/drug pushers that think it's cool to have a mean dog...now thats where aggression breeds.See,touch,and love a real pitt before you make a stupid decision. Educate yourself!My pitts are with me for the remainder of their natural lives. They are family......Ban the bull****!!!
As far as I'm concerned any dog can be considered ferocious.For example I own a Chihuahua that to me is the most vicious lil thing that I've ever seen.I believe pitbulls have unfairly earned the title of being ferocious.They are what the OWNERS make them as in any other breed of dog.All breeds have the capability of attacking!The idea of banning one certain breed is just unfair.The ones they should go after are the ones who breed the animals just for fighting, JUDGE them not the dog.My daughter has 4 pitbulls and to this day they have protected my grandchildren and have never attacked anyone, but then again they were raised in the proper manner just like all dogs should.Oh and just to mention my chihuahua took on one of these "so called vicious" pitbulls of my daughters and I think the poor pitbull was more scared of it.Like the saying says> dont judge a book by its cover
I don't think it just to ban pitbulls as there are still so many responsible owners out there and the ones that are not responsible probably won't obide by the rules anyway!
Pitbulls are not as ferocious as people make them out to be. My pitbull, like many others, has never harmed a thing, and he is around little kids all the time. I am sure you have heard horrible stories of pits killing or harming humans, but that is because the owner has trained it to do so. Do not punish these animals for the stupidity of cruel humans who have nothing better to do!
Pitbulls may be horrible animals, but the American PitBull Terrier (APBT) properly trained is by far loyal and loving! Punish the people who train them not the Dog. You want to fear a breed, fear the chihuahua, that is a ferocious dog who attacks anyone and everything that is not their owner but noone cares cause its the size of a rat. Both mine and my sisters APBT's have never hurt anyone or anything because like the other responsible owners on this petition, we take time to train our dogs and love our dogs like they were our children!
It is not fair to judge a book by its cover, you have to look inside. My pitbulls are like my kids and I trust them with all my heart. Might as well get rid of all breeds because all and any dogs bite, small or large.
MY PITBULL IS THE BEST DOG I HAVE EVER OWNED. HE IS A BIG BABY!! HOW CAN U JUDGE THE WHOLE BREED, ITS THE IRRESPONSIBLE OWNER'S THAT MAKE THEM FIGHTERS!
"JUDGE THE DEED NOT THE BREED" check www.atts.org/statistics.h tml which is the American Temperment Test Society where they test dog breed temperments. Pit Bulls passed 83.4%, Beagles,78.2%, Collies like Lassie 79%, Cocker Spaniel 81.5%, EVERYONES beloved Golden Retriever 83.6% BARELY beating out Ferocious PIT BULLS? We'll better kill all the other dogs too, right? Or are you BREEDIST? I am mommy to an eleven year old Pit Bull. She is the SMARTEST,SWEETEST, loving, compassionate dog I have ever met. She is spoiled and treates like a princess. So who is more likely to get in a fight a loved cared for child or one who is abused? Might as well kill the minority children in the Ghetto's? They will all be criminals. THAT IS HOW YOU THINK!!! Heartbreaking I feel sorry for the underprivledged children in your area. SHAME ON YOU! You lack HUMANITY!
There are consequences in breed specific banning...The "bad owners", the ones who use their dogs as weapons will just change breed like you change brands, but the attacks will not stop as this is not a breed problem, but criminal human behaviour from the owner's side. They should rethink their strategy and pass a law with fines and emprisonment for the irresponsible criminal owners...
Breedism is the equivalent of racism. Pit bulls are by nature extremely loving with people. Any dog can be aggressive if tortured and traumatized. The only dog I was ever attacked by was a lab, and I don't hear anyone crying for the destruction of the beloved labrador retriever. Pitbulls actually have wonderful bite inhibition. They are beloved friends. What you are doing is genocide, Hitler JR. aka Michael Bryant. The proper response to animal cruelty (dog fighting) is not more inhumanity. Ignorance kills, but education kills ignorance. I would trust my life in the jaws of a pitbull but never the hands of a politician. Pitbulls afterall are goodnatured, too bad I can't say the same for the people in power. People hate and discriminate due to ignorance. Animals are tortured by irresponsible humans to create the same result. It amazes me that we must be educated to learn to love and accept, while an animal must be educated to hate.
These government people need to sit back and reconcile on the dogs they know of that have attacked poeple and see how many of them were pitbulls or german shepards or little dogs. Pitbulls only react the way they were trained to be.All dogs will protect their owners and property not just pitbulls. They are being targeted because these bleeding heart politicians are not taking the time to educate themselves on pits.I am scared of dobermans,lets pass a ban on them,(ya right).I have been bitten by a chaugahua,they attack people.Lets ban them.Come on people,the dog only protects it's invironment but if the owners train them to be aggressive,they will be just like any other animal.
Pit Bulls are quickly becoming an endangered species. It's not any fault of theirs, but of some irresponsible owners. These dogs are not born mean. They are wonderful companion dogs. "Fighting Dogs" become fierce by methods so inhumane, that only a human could be responsible.
Michael Bryant needs to educate himself on the breed.The American Pit Bull Terrier Handbook by Joe Stahlkuppe published by Barron's gives the breeds history and heritage and everything related to their care and training.

A breed ban is NOT the solution!! Irresponsible owners will only move on to another breed until they destroy the reputation of all dogs. If we continue in this direction, soon all dog breeds will be banned! The government needs to start holding the individual owners responsible instead of blaming an entire breed.
The pitbull ban is incredibly cruel and unneccessary. I think that the government needs to shift their focus to the real problem: irresponsible owners. Every single pitbull that I've ever known has been sweet and gentle, and wouldn't hurt a fly. Their owners loved them like they did their own children. This ban is tearing families apart, and how do we know where the ban will stop. If we don't join together and oppose the ban, what breed will be next?
To ban loving pets from their own homes is just sick. This ban is only going to tear happy families apart. Are you not aware that people can love a pet as much as a child?
I am the proud owner of a Pit Bull who wants nothing more than to be pampered, petted, and given attention by anyone who is unprejuediced and willing to do so. To ban a breed of dog is to take responsibility away from the real problem - THE OWNER. The fact is this: Pit Bulls were NEVER trained to attack humans in their history. Even now, when they are abused for fighting, they never turn on their owners. It is absurd to ban a dog based on something they cannot help when they are perfectly good dogs when trained properly. I will dedicate my life to saving Pit Bulls, and will not give up this fight to keep these beautiful creatures alive.
Ban people... not a breed of dog. It is not their fault if they unwillingly obtain an irresponsible owner. I had a poodle for 17 years, my pit bull is just as sweet and even more of a mush! How can anyone think these dogs should be ban? Being bred from other already existing breeds... should we ban bull and terrier breeds as well?
I am an owner of an unneutered male Rottweiler. He is the most obedient, loyal, and loving dog I've ever met, and everyone at the dog park here agrees. I am afraid my breed will soon be on the list of banned breeds. I fully agree that such legislation will NOT work. Our government should look to the Germans, where atleast 3 of the "aggressive" breeds come from. Dogs there must be proven to have been socialized and trained to receive a national dog licence. Those that do not comply with testing are eliminated from the gene pool.

see wht happens when few bad people rasie bad dogs we all get the blame i have had sevral pit bulls and all have been good dogs if we dont wacth this and do something they will be comen for our dogs only way they get mine is after thy pry my gun from my cold dead hand
I have a pit bull and she is the most loyal, playful, and beautiful dog I have seen. These dogs are the epitome of "mans best friend." Please don't take this away from caring pet owners. The legislation will not solve the problem. The people who are breeding dogs to be vicious will just find a new breed. Please do more research on this topic before you implement this discriminatory law.
Read the tempermant results of a pit bull. It is truel sad when governement can choose our pets for us. Why don't we kill the people who are abusing and training these dogs to fight? That would be against the law right, yet it is not against the law to kill helpless animals? I think there are more sophisticated measures for killing one of God's creatures.
THIS BAN WILL NOT WORK. People will only change the type of dog they own and not the training, which is the real problem here, not the Pitbulls or for that fact any other dog.Our government is weak bending to the uninformed media. The stats will only ever change when people start to train there dogs responsibly, untill than we will ban every last breed of dog.If the media treated all dogs equal and without predjudice we would certainly never have had this ban.Canada is changing for the worst.
This ban is bull. I've owned a pibull and she was like my baby and I was her mommy. now that I am a mommy I would let a pitbull be around her without any fear. How can you punish the breed when it was clearly the owner who trained the dog to bite. I can't believe that the government would stup so low as to bending every which way. it's really getting retarded. Like come on their dogs not a serial killer. All I know is I love pitbulls and I'll own one regardless (the last time I checked this country is still a free one.) It just goes to show how crupt our government is getting. Oh well I know who I'm NOT VOTING for next election.
This ban is of direct cause of the media. This situation has been completely blown out of porportion. It is a statistical fact that pitbulls have not once been the cause of a death from dog attack in Canada. So what about the dogs that have caused death? We can thank the media for overzelous advertisement of recent pitbull attacks. As an owner of a dog, I am ashamed of what the government is doing and I am curious to know what breed will be banned next. This is what we get for voting Liberal!
It isn't the dogs fault that there were bred (in some cases) to be vicious. There are lots of other dogs that are just as dangerous as pitbulls and are they going to ban them too. The owners who breed the dog to be vicious is to blame. I've see lots of pitbulls that wouldn't hurt a fly.
It's not the breeds fault, it's the owners! When are rotties, huskies, german sheppards, dobermans, cocker spaniels, boxers, etc, etc, etc. going to be banned...where is it all going to stop. When there are no dogs left! I have the sweetest, kindest staffie and he has been the best family dog we have ever had. It's a shame that other people will never get to experience that.
this ban is unreal and unfair we are suppost to be free here in Canada really? WHATS free we can't even chose the type of dogs we want to love and have as part of our families. We as Canadians need to stand up and be strong and make our voices heard by this government that thinks they can tell us whats what with our lives!!!!!!!!
Have pics. Spoted blue pit free to good home. Have his brother very sweet bottle feed them since birth. Roomate claiming one to be hers took off left him behind.Puppies and a child are out of control helping each other make a mess for me to clean.Husband want's one gone ASAP reply to tripinkitten@aol.com will mail pics & please only serious famlies
I own a male and female pitbull, ppl have made them into a media target. I read two articles with in a two week period out of the ottawa sun. Both were dog attacks, huge article headline saying PITBULL ATTACK, one was about a pitbull getting loose and the other was about a man who unleashed his pitbull on another man.. It's sad because there was a tiny little article the following day saying that they were not pitbull's, one was bull mastiff and the other was german shepherd.. It makes no sence to ban a certain breed, thats like saying because their is more crime or violence in a certain race of humans that they are born aggressive, i mean seriously think about that.. makes no sence at all.. both of my pitbulls are wussy's!! and if you want to see why these dogs have a bad reputation, pick up the movie F.E.D'S, it has real footage of ppl breeding pitbulls for fighting only, and how they make the dog aggressive..
I have a pit bull mix and he is the nicest dog we are now looking for a pure bread female pit bull that hasnt been fixed. I believe that animals are only mean if thats the way they were raised.
Avoiding the source of the problem is not gonna solve anything. It is like banning the Ford Mustang because there's more "drunk driving" done with this car. It is time for the society to accept that WE, the people are the sources of most of planet earth's serious problems...
