~Wecome To Animal Lovers Fighting Against Breed Specific Legislation~

Please join in and make yourself at home and contribute to my cause of awareness & education & the fight against BSL. My goals with this site are to aware people, educate people etc. so that we may get a better grip on fighting BSL. It amazes me how many people never heard of BSL~but then again one year ago neither had I. We all need to be aware of this so called racial profiling for our furbabies as it will more than likely one day affect us all. ♦

"Please help www.stop-bsl.com spread the word about responsible dog ownership and the harm caused by breed specific legislation. They have several new things on their site and are holding two raffles this upcoming month. Check out the www.stop-bsl.com/clubs.html page to see if they are near you. If you can, come out and support them and the breed at these dog shows. If you can't make it to a show you can still help! EVERY DOLLAR LITERALLY COUNTS. They are raising money currently to both run 4 months of ads in a multi state southern magazine and to run radio ads. 1 Month in this magazine will cost $150, a great deal. And 30 seconds on the radio can cost as little as $10 in some cities. You can see the radio ad prices at www.stop-bsl.com/fundraising.html Please donate even just $1.00 it will make a difference.

~What Is BSL you ask?~Racial profiling for dogs~Breed Specific Legislation~

♦

♦ Your city or county is more than likely considering passing Breed Specific Legislation (BSL). These types of laws should NOT be supported by any responsible dog owners! There is no breed of dramatically dropped once BSL was passed. These losses were passed onto the community because of less travelers which effects hotels, restaurants, gas stations, veterinary care, etc. ♦ BSL has been ruled as unconstitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court and a Westbury, NY Court. BSL Laws have been ruled against by several courts of law throughout the US including, Alabama Supreme Court, NY Supreme Court, MA Supreme Court just to name a few. But yet BSL keeps popping up everywhere everyday. ♦ All dogs are capable of biting and inflicting fatal wounds. In 2002 a Pomeranian fatally mauled an infant. According to Karen Delise the dog most involved in fatal attacks is an unaltered male, followed by an un-altered female. BSL laws do not make a community safer as they don’t address the root cause of the problem and that’s the irresponsible dog owners. Effective laws need to be drafted that protect responsible dog owners rights and hold irresponsible owners accountable for their animals actions. ♦ ♦ Why we all need to look out for Breed Specific Legislation ♦

♦ Breed Specific Legislation, or BSL, is a ban on a specific breed of dog based on the fear and ignorance of a public who thinks the only dangerous dogs come from a certain breed or breed type. Basically it operates on the idea that certain breeds of dogs will attack people or other animals unprovoked, whilst this behavior would never happen in other breeds. Common sense tells us this is not only a blatant lie, but that it is disproved with so many documented facts only pure ignorance could be fueling its spread across the country. Not only is BSL harmful to those dogs it bans, but the money spent to run the programs implemented for it is outrageous and the results produced are minescule at best. ♦ Overall, the best way to fight BSL is to be a responsible owner and a good neighbor. Extend yourself. Socialize, train and educate on a daily basis. ♦
