155 12 Dec 2006 - 8:21    Shane Lancaster : This truely shows us wrat is wrong with our system. Have we learned nothing from the past. Our government should know better. We should ban stupid laws and politicians. Come to my home and attempt to murder my dog, you better bring your A game baby..... I will defend him as fiercely as he would defend me. Badge or no badge, you have no right to enter my home and KILL a member of my family. DAMN YOUR SELF IMPORTANT OPINION. The government is for the people, by the people. They only have the power we give them. STAND UP AND BE COUNTED.
156 12 Dec 2006 - 11:19    Eva Mah :
157 12 Dec 2006 - 13:19    Katy Eichert : Upon adopting pets of certain breeds, the owner has a responsibility to research the breed, find out it's history and what it was bred for, talk to other owners of the breed, in order to have a better understanding of their pet's thinking. This is ridiculous.
158 12 Dec 2006 - 13:50    Robert Huff III : Domesticated animals are as good or as bad as their owners. Lets think on that a min shall we. Where does it stop from here i have 3 dogs that are pit bull terrier mixed so do they have to suffer to by association hmmm
159 12 Dec 2006 - 13:58    Eric S. Welch : Its bad owners that make bad pets. Like guns aren't bad, just the ppl whose use them are.
160 12 Dec 2006 - 22:01    Misti Schuck : I've had several pit bulls and know of a lot of friends that have to, and they are not any different than any other breed. It's all about the owner.. not the pet!!!
161 12 Dec 2006 - 23:46    Ben Azzam : These people trying to make the bans are ignorant. Pits are the most loyal and loving dog in the world if they are treated right.
162 13 Dec 2006 - 1:01    Creighton Hartman : there would be no end to the hellstorm i would cause if my baby was taken away from me
163 13 Dec 2006 - 2:47    Guia Avesani : This is insane!!! Is this a **** society?!! Why aren't we focusing on cracking down on illegal puppy mills, dog fighting circles etc. We are actually considering going house to house and rounding up innocent animals, and destroying innocent animal caring families. Why should I be punished for the irresponsible acts of my fellow man.
164 13 Dec 2006 - 4:41    Jennifer Pratt : I can't believe they are trying to do this! My pit is nicer than any small dog I've had.
165 13 Dec 2006 - 4:55    JoVanna A. Esquivel : this is so aweful and it needs to stop. Education not Euthanization!
166 13 Dec 2006 - 8:49    Stacy Testa : I have volunteered at an animal shelter for years, and no breed of dog is as sweet and misunderstood as the pit bull
167 13 Dec 2006 - 10:23    Brian Masters : I've known several good Pit Bulls. I've also known a Labrador that would bite anyone that got near him. It's not the breed, it is the training and socializing.
168 13 Dec 2006 - 15:54    Bailey : Surely its the owners fault? I cant see anyone euthanizing dalmations when they were origionaly bred to defend carrages - ie attack PEOPLE! images of dogs are mainly dominated by those who have never had one to even look after! why should they get the last say in the matter of a dogs death?
169 13 Dec 2006 - 16:21    douglas griffith : no ban hell no it's wrong
170 13 Dec 2006 - 23:22    Karen Kelley : I own two pitbulls as well as a cat and two miniature poodles, I have two children and my pits are neither animal nor people agressive. It's the irresponsible owners that should be banned not the loving caring and loyal animals.
171 14 Dec 2006 - 8:39    Kirsten Herold :
172 14 Dec 2006 - 8:44    alan ksionek :
173 14 Dec 2006 - 12:15    Jessica L Mitchell :
174 14 Dec 2006 - 13:24    Kim : This ban is absolutely ridiculous. People need to focus on other major problems that california has. People need to be responsible for their own pets. Of all the dogs I have come across, pits are the most loving breed. Another example of the government putting its nose where it does not belong. If you are not going to take care of your dog, don't have one.Plain and simple.
175 14 Dec 2006 - 13:43    stacy :
176 14 Dec 2006 - 13:44    betty :
177 14 Dec 2006 - 17:28    darcy : humans created them and its our duty to protect them...as a veterinary technician I have see first hand the damage a pit bull can do to another dog or person...but I have also see how much love they have to give and can honestly say the home makes the dog,I understand trying to save them from a life of fighting and abuse as a guard dog, but why not stop the people resbonsible? ban the pit bulls and just another breed will take their place
178 14 Dec 2006 - 20:17    Katie Jacob : Why do people think that a dog holocaust is any better than the WWII holocaust? maybe that sounds a tad extreme, but animals have rights, too. it's up to us to make sure that they are well taken care of, etc. yes it's tragic when a child is bitten, but punish the owners, not the dogs. im sure if people actually WATCHED their kids they'd be able to make sure that wasnt happening. because theyd be there to keep their little urchins from pulling ears & tails, poking eyes, hitting with toys, etc. this is terrible and ridiculous and makes me sick to my stomach.
179 14 Dec 2006 - 20:42    Chris : So what's next, euthanizing inner-city male humans because they have a bad reputation? This is out of control.
180 14 Dec 2006 - 23:27    Dave Narkunas : The pitbull I knew was quiet, never barked and was very friendly. I think it's just that pitbulls are getting a bad rap because of their fierce loyalty. There always has to be a fiercest kind of ANY animal. The King Cobra is the fiercest of snakes. It is what it is. The Polar bear has zero fear of man and is the fiercest of bears. The great white is the fiercest of the sharks. If there were no cobras, polar bears and great whites something else would just take their place and they would become demonized. This natural development of an animal TO BE WHAT IT IS is the reason for the focus. It is not seen on its merits otherwise. Banning pitbulls is like banning horses, cats, humans or any other animal. They all have a tendency to be dangerous when THREATENED. It's their genetic potential to be more tenacious in response is what sets piybulls apart. They do it for a reason, not because they "just feel like it", and that is what this is all about.
181 15 Dec 2006 - 0:17    Desiree : If they ban Pitbulls for being vicious well I say we get poodles,pomeranians,chihu ahuas and all of the other small tempermental dogs I have encountered!!And yes what about all of the vicious mean humans that have hurt people killed people and raped women and children why do they get so many chances and in most cases only to hurt again!!This is stupid!!!!!!!!!
182 15 Dec 2006 - 1:14    Jessica Barrett : What about the other breeds of dogs that I have heard attacking so many times. It isn't the dog itself, It is the owner. Why not exterminate them!!!!
183 15 Dec 2006 - 1:16    NAEEM RUSSELL : I'VE HAD TWO IN MY LIFETIME AND THEY WERE THE BEST BREED OF DOGS I'VE EVER OWNED,BANNING THIS BREED IS THE REAL CRIME,THIS BREED IS TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD.PETEY THE PITBULL FROM THE LIL RASCALS WAS AROUND KIDS ALL THE TIME NOT 1 ATTACK,THEIR ONLY AS VISCIOUS AS THE VISCIOUS PEOPLE WHO OWN THEM.
184 15 Dec 2006 - 1:21    Sabrina : The whole concept of destroying these animals because of their reputation is repugnant.
185 15 Dec 2006 - 1:22    Jacqueline Thomas :
186 15 Dec 2006 - 1:24    HMoncada : Its not the dog, its the way the owner raises the dog...
187 15 Dec 2006 - 1:25    Melissa : It's so upseting that anyone would actually want to ban a breed..it just so happens owners use pitbulls for fighting not the dogs fault please please please don't kill any dogs!
188 15 Dec 2006 - 1:39    Tashie L. Cooper : I am signing this petition because there are no bad dogs just bad owners,and when you have small children with a dogs around you have to be more careful...
189 15 Dec 2006 - 1:53    ashley : i fully support this petition. dogs that are used for fighting are trained to be that way. when any dog is born, no matter what breed, they do not automatically bear the instinct to be aggressive. the dogs that are used for fighting are trained and forced to be that way. it is not the breeds fault that it is used for fighting. yes some certain breeds have a high tolerance for pain which is why they are used in dog fighting. and it is very unfortuante that the dog that is used in fights will most of the time never again be able to be with a family who will treat it well. the dogs are so used to having to defend themselves from other dogs that they are unsure of how to act when they are not being beat or fighting to stay alive. they are always on guard and since most get abused by there trainers they are also fearful of humans.it is completely unfair to ban/exterminate the pit bull breed b/c they are used in fights which in turn make them agressive. there are many people who own pitbulls that are loving and gentle towards their owners.also i agree with a prior post that said that the media is quick to dramatize and report stories where pitbulls were acting aggressively. i can honestly say that i have never heard any reports on the news about pits or rotties that do good things.all you hear about is how it attacked a little girl or something of that nature.it just breaks my heart to know that anyone would want to punish a dog and even a whole breed for the acts of their owners/trainers.i dont care what anyone says your dogs are what you make them.its the people who should be punished not the dogs.and for those of you who support the ban on pitts shame on you.i think its completely absurd that the government would even consider allowing this ban. what is the world coming to?
190 15 Dec 2006 - 1:58    Gusto Fawty Bluntz : HOW ABOUT BANNING AND EXECUTING ALL THE ****IN CHILD MOLESTERS, RAPISTS, CRACK DEALERS AND CROOKED POLITICIANS...NOT HARMLESS DOGS, YOU INCOMPETENT POLITICAL FOOLS
191 15 Dec 2006 - 2:02    Jacqueline : When I read this, I was in shock! The next thing you'll see, is the killing of birds because they are to loud!!! Leave nature, animals, and people not harmed! I'm so sick of all the violence in this world.
192 15 Dec 2006 - 2:05    Amanda Bullard : Pit bulls are loving dogs if they are brought up right just like human beings
193 15 Dec 2006 - 2:11    Michelle Jones :
194 15 Dec 2006 - 2:33    April Donachy :
195 15 Dec 2006 - 2:33    Sisera Pullen-Linzy : Iam signing this petition because I've been an owner of 5 pitbulls for years. I've never had a problem with them and I have 4 children and they've never been bitten so they can lift this reputation off of this wonderful breed!!
196 15 Dec 2006 - 2:38    Melissa : pitbulls are very loving to humans and all dogs get vicious when they feel treatned so if you ban pitbulls you would have to do the same for all the other types of dogs
197 15 Dec 2006 - 2:39    Oto : pitbulls are the best and friendly dogs
198 15 Dec 2006 - 2:40    Jessi : its not any dogs fault to bite any one it all depends on the owner. who ever cant take care of them right shouldnt have 1
199 15 Dec 2006 - 2:44    Maria : you shouldn't be killing animal they didn't do anything wrong at all. i love dogs why would you guys do that. that so wrong. have you ever read or know that the dog take care of the family they are really good guard dogs. please don't kill dogs at all. they didn't do anything wrong
200 15 Dec 2006 - 2:56    Brenda Lacy : Its all about HOW teh dog is raised. I do not support this ban!
