1 7 Apr 2006 - 10:50    Winrii and Sheska : You know I'm gonna support you on this, Trisha. Banning pit bulls in my state...I've never even heard about that until now. I'm gonna support this 100%. And you give good reasons, too. ^^
2 7 Apr 2006 - 10:59    Sharla : I agree with this. Yes, it IS in the breed's nature to be aggressive, as they were bred for dog fighting, but simple obedience training like just about EVERY dog gets can tech them to hold that in...it's just what they do for humans. Instead of banning the breed, why not force pit bull owners to have liability insurance? After all, if their dog gets out of control, it IS, in fact, the owner's fault. The dog doesn't know better, the owner does...and the person who DOES know better than to let the dog attack someone SHOULD. Stop taking irresponsible pet owners' stupidity out on animals. It's just NOT RIGHT.
3 7 Apr 2006 - 11:31    Erin : The media will gladly publish stories about the horrible things these breeds have done, but dismiss any good acts. Have you heard about the the rottie that saved a woman from a fire? Notice how tiny that article is, how breif it is. If that same dog would have bitten someone, it would be two pages long. Why don't they talk about the rottie that assists learning at Stamm Elementry?. How come they don't talk about the Pit Bull that saved a family from a fire? Why doesn't the rottie who won the ASPCA Dog of the Year title for it's contributions to animal therapy get mentioned on the airwaves?
4 7 Apr 2006 - 11:33    hello there : CNN even once reported in their newsticker "Pit Bulls are genetically immune to pain." Uh, WTF? Last time I checked, a pit bull is a dog, and dogs are vertebrates with nerves that trigger pain.
5 12 Apr 2006 - 22:31    Jen : I think that the idea of a whole breed of dogs suffering for the poor choices humans make is heartbreakingly blind and ignorant. Banning a breed will by no means solve the problem. Do you really think that every single dog can be wiped out? People will go to some pretty crazy extents for their animals. Also, what about the breeds and mutts that are mistaken as pitbulls? This happens often enough to raise the question. Will they be put down mercilessly as well?
6 14 Apr 2006 - 5:40    Kara : I support this petition and am disgusted that now we would even have our domestic pets decided for us? And all with the now- familiar refrain: "for our safety and protection." Sounds a little bit like fascism to me. This ban/extermination program is based in ignorance. AmStaff/"Pitbulls" are just dogs like any other breed. Unfortunately, they've been cruelly exploited unlike most other breeds by those who choose this breed for all the wrong reasons. Be that as it may, the vast majority of these terriers never make headlines and live out their lives happy and well-loved with owners who acquired them from a reputable breeder who breeds specifically for good temperament. The truth is that any large breed dog has the capacity to do physical harm. In the 50's Dobermans were viewed as Public Enemy #1. Now, it's "Pitbulls." And so on...Extermination is not the answer. Learning about the breed paired with responsible dog ownership is.
7 14 Apr 2006 - 9:29    Brandi Gentry : I support this petition.
8 14 Apr 2006 - 20:56    Sara Logan : I support this petition.
9 14 Apr 2006 - 22:11    Jen : I support this petition 100% I have had a pitbull for the past 4 years and he would hurt a fly. He is the sweetist dog I have ever owned. He weighs 70lbs and thinks he's a lap dog. I do hear things on the news about pitbulls but no more than i hear about other dogs... and actually the last thing on the news i did see about them was a female pitbull taking car of an abandend litter of kittens.
10 15 Apr 2006 - 3:28    Joy M. King : I support this petition.
11 15 Apr 2006 - 6:15    Victoria France : I support this petition.
12 15 Apr 2006 - 8:34    riku matsuda : I support this petition.
13 15 Apr 2006 - 23:05    Lamar Turner : I support this petition.
14 16 Apr 2006 - 1:09    Ken Sugimoto : Dogs are like (human) babies when they are first born....they don't know any better....when they start doing things that are bad as they grow up....they pick it up from people....but in this case the people the dogs are around the most would be their owners.....so don't blame them for how poorly you act or react towards them.
15 16 Apr 2006 - 2:13    nikky cowger : I support this petition.
16 16 Apr 2006 - 7:57    Bianca : okay, wy are they blaming dogs for what the owners do? i mean, the owner of the pit bull is mostly responsible for the care and if he/she is neglectful of the dog, the dog may to things for attention, or the owner itself could be training the dogs to attack, such as guard dogs. pit bulls shouldnt be blamed for what they are taught to do, their owners should.
17 16 Apr 2006 - 8:23    J : I support this petition.
18 16 Apr 2006 - 23:33    jillian : dont bring back the holocaust.
19 17 Apr 2006 - 8:49    Cynthia Pina : I support this petition.
20 17 Apr 2006 - 22:33    Michael Savannah : I support this petition.
21 17 Apr 2006 - 22:53    charlene : I support this petition.
22 18 Apr 2006 - 1:49    Sydney Bertrand : I support this petition. I VERY firmly believe that the pit bull extermination/ban is the most ignorant and foolish thing that the government could possibly do. I have a pit bull mix and he is the absolute sweetest dog you'll ever meet. He is part of the family and everyone that meets him loves him. The government controls our lives enough already, they shouldn't be able to take away our family!
23 18 Apr 2006 - 1:53    Nina Willis : I support this petition.I think that banning pit bulls is a form of racism and it is completely immorally wrong.
24 18 Apr 2006 - 2:23    Carey : I support this petition.
25 18 Apr 2006 - 5:16    Karla Mejia : I support this petition. We all are a product of the environment that we are brought up in...please remember this and know that the only reason there are bad/aggressive dogs is due to the bad folk and conditions that they are raised in.
26 18 Apr 2006 - 8:38    Tracy Kadelski : I support this petition. It is ridiculous to ban a breed, maybe if they euthanized the owners who train these animals it would be a better world! Pit bulls are GREAT dogs. That would be like banning a certain group of humans. Humans never learn from the mistakes of their ancestors do they? It would be an amazing world if ignorance was gone. NO MORE SPECISIM!!
27 18 Apr 2006 - 22:43    Paige Dodge : I support this petition.
28 19 Apr 2006 - 1:06    Beth Hungerford : I support this petition.
29 19 Apr 2006 - 2:06    Stacy Rice : I support this petition. Why make all "pit bulls" suffer when it's not their fault but the human's fault?? Punish the deed not the breed! Outlawing this wonderful dogs is only going to punish the good dogs and people, and will NOT get to the people that are the problem.
30 19 Apr 2006 - 7:58    Kerry : hate the act, not the breed.
31 19 Apr 2006 - 20:33    Natalie Crew : I support this petition.
32 19 Apr 2006 - 20:57    ashleigh thomen : ban the owners, not the breed
33 20 Apr 2006 - 0:18    Idella : There is actually a proven statistics that most human bites from dogs dont come from pits. They are actually eigth on the list....From the bottom. Golden retievers and poodles are closer to the tops than pits.
34 20 Apr 2006 - 0:28    Derek : For three and a half years I defended this country. The dogs are not to blame...the only ones at fault here are the ignorant people that do not watch, or show their pits enough love, or the ignorant people that torment a pit bull, leaving it no other choice to attack. I not only defended the freedoms of those that live here, but also out four legged friends as well
35 20 Apr 2006 - 0:41    Paul : I support this petition. I have a pitbull myself. She runs around and plays with my ferret. Guess what she does to anyone who comes in the house....bite? Hell no. She licks a hell of a lot and tries to sit in their lap. And just for the record, the first time I met my friend's chihuaha, it bit me, repeatedly. Never got so much as a growl from a pitbull. They're really happy hyper dogs in nature. Look it up...
36 20 Apr 2006 - 0:57    KRiS~ : For the last 5 years I have had pitbulls and like I have told everyone I know there is no love like the love a pitbull gives you .At this time I now own 2 pitbull males that are great dogs and loyal family.Alot of people I know also have pitbulls and we all say the same thing ..."It's all in how the are raised ,if you raise them with love and around children they will be the most loyal and loving animal you will find . If you raise them to be killers ,that is what they will be ." Don't ban the pitbulls its not their fault that people treat them like ****.
37 20 Apr 2006 - 8:37    Brianna Swain : There is absolutely no reason to punish the dogs. Dogs do what they are taught. it is the owners fault not the dog. Punish the owner, not the dog.
38 20 Apr 2006 - 10:23    Marilyn Costanza : I support this petition.
39 22 Apr 2006 - 0:27    Dana Kaiser : I support this petition. Please do not let this law pass!!!
40 22 Apr 2006 - 2:13    Devin Doss : Please do not let all pit bulls pay for the stupid mistakes of ignorant pit bull owners who train them to fight. Punish the owners, not the dogs! I'd love to do to the owners what they do to their dogs to make them so aggressive & see how they turn out. & to the owner of the search & rescue pit bull, how did resist not bashing in the head of that golfer with his own golf club? I've had my dog since he was abandoned at 2wks old. From what we are told, me coud possibly be half pit bull, are they going to come take my baby away and euthanize him? Over my DEAD BODY! Punish the deed, not the breed!
41 22 Apr 2006 - 3:00    Michele Emmert : I support this petition 100%
42 22 Apr 2006 - 3:03    Jay Holden : I support this petition. These are not bad dogs, in fact they are great dogs.. If laws need to be made they need to be made for bad, irresponsible owners.. Eradicating an entire breed of dog is just insane.. No different from Hilter in my opinion..
43 22 Apr 2006 - 4:14    sonia reyes : I support this petition.i have 2 pitmix and they are great with my kid.one was found in the streets of pomona she was 4months old and the other one we fosterd him @ 4wks and adopted him 4wks later. they are great dogs!! please don't let this law pass!!!
44 22 Apr 2006 - 6:46    Jason Davis : I support this petition.
45 23 Apr 2006 - 5:22    Taylor : There is absolutely no reason for this law to be passed.
46 24 Apr 2006 - 0:06    Charles Reid : I support this petition. The law, while it may be meant to protect our society, is the wrong course of action. It is a reactionary law, not a good law. It would be a much better use of our tax dollars to educate people about the truth about all dogs, rather than destroy innocent lives. The owners of bad dogs should be punished, not a breed of dogs who cannot speak for themselves. This law is stupid. It is the same thing as genocide. What is next? Should we kill all Arabs, because some of them are terrorists? This law would amount to the same thing, and it is dangerous! It open the door for other laws that could even lead to the extermination of our children. If you think I am crazy, take a look at History. Look at Hitler, Stalin, George W. Bush, to name a few. Be careful!!
47 24 Apr 2006 - 23:33    Bethany Whitehead : I support this petition.
48 25 Apr 2006 - 2:25    Katie Hampton : I fully support this petition. They are born a sweet and loving dog and stay that way...it is the people that create a monster.
49 25 Apr 2006 - 3:52    Meghan Fest : I support this petition. A human will attack someone out of nowhere, plot to kill, and even carry out matters that are more unspeakable, yet we have not banned them from our states, we allow criminals to return to our neighborhoods... why would an innocent animal of any breed be banned? you should take into consideration the people taunting these animals and training them TO act out violently, but don't blame the dogs.
50 25 Apr 2006 - 18:46    Amanda : I support this petition 100%. I have never met a mean pit. It is all in who brings the dog up. Some free country we live in.
