There is no such thing as a bad breed.

Just bad owners.

Due to the recent attempt to get Pit Bulls banned in California, I am starting a petition AGAINST that ban. Why?

Pit Bulls are simply one breed that have had a VERY bad reputation. The truth is, it is not simply a breed or instinct in a dog that makes it bite a human. It is the reaction the dog makes to being THREATENED. Often times when a Pit Bull bites a child, the child is unsupervised, or not being watched closely. Young children do not know how to act around dogs. They will tug on their ears, tails, pull their hair, jump on them, poke them... and the dog, in this case a Pit Bull, feels threatened.

"The dog just bit the child out of no where!"

No. The dog felt threatened, simply because the child did not understand. If the parent had been paying attention to the child, they would have noticed and stopped the child before the dog bit the kid.

"The dog could attack at any moment."

Wrong again. Pit Bulls, all dogs too, react for a reason. NEVER does a dog act without feeling some kind of threat or is attacked itself.

Also, irradicating a breed does not solve dog bites from happening.

In fact, there is NO REASON to ban a certain breed of dog due to their reputation.

You could simply enfource a law that says dogs must be muzzled when out of their house.

That certainly solves the problem, now, doesn't it?

"But the dog could get loose!"

That, is the OWNERS fault. Not the dogs. Punishing the dog for something it's owner did does not solve anything.



There was once two Pit Bulls trained for Search and Rescue. They were training with their owner one day when one of the Pit Bulls ran off, sensing something. A storm was approaching and the dog got frightened. It ran to a near by golfing course, unable to find its way back, and came up to a golfer wagging its tail.

The golfer, in turn, smashed the dog's skull with his golf club.

Why?

He states that he "saw a Pit Bull running towards him and protected" himself.

Now, if a poodle were to run up to you, would you hit it with a golf club?

There is no reason to kill, ban, or hurt an animal merely because it has a bad reputation. If a human bites someone, is their family banned?



In Denver Colorado last year, police were coming into homes and taking away any Pit Bull dog they found without warning the owner ahead of time.

Without even giving the dogs A CHANCE, they euthanized it, then left a mere note on the owner's door.

One of the dogs euthanized was a one month old Pit Bull puppy, owned by a mother and her 7 year-old daughter.

I support this petition. because the breed is very noble, caring and funny, it is in my persuit of happiness to be able to own which ever dog i want, my pit bull is a family member and should not be banned from being in my family simply for being born a pit bull, a fact that he had no control over.
