Breed Specific Legislation Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) is an ordinance or law which regulates or prohibits ownership of certain breeds. BSL does NOT prevent dog bites - as we all know, ANY breed of animal can bite. It does not prevent crime - as the criminal element is not likely to obey any law.
What BSL does, plainly and simply, is kill pets.
Under BSL, if you own a dog that even remotely resembles one of the breeds outlawed, unless you have papers proving that it is of a purebred other breed, it can be confiscated and killed. That's it.
How many other breeds resemble a "pit bull"?
Take a look here and see if you pick out the pit bull:

So, what can you do to fight BSL? Here are a few websites with great information and strategies for fighting BSL if it rears its ugly head in your community:
Dogwatch.net
Rott-n-Chatter
Understand-a-Bull
Defending Dog
Stand United
American Canine Foundation
Bully News
BSL does not just affect pit bulls, it affects all breeds of dogs and their families.
Please light a candle in memory of the innocent victims of BSL.

Don't Support Groups That Support Breed Specific Legislation!
"More and more communities are realizing that the best way to prevent another tragic death like Brian’s is to enact a ban on acquiring pit bulls....We urge Dorchester County to join their ranks by immediately introducing this urgently needed legislation." PETA Director Daphna Nachminovitch, PETA’s letter to the Dorchester County Council encouraging the banning of pit bulls.
"Those who argue against a breeding ban and the shelter euthanasia policy for pit bulls are naive...Many are loving and will kiss on sight, but many are unpredictable...People who genuinely care about dogs won't be affected by a ban on pit- bull breeding...Legislators, please take note." Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA, Controlling an animal as deadly as a weapon

My Interests

Before Asking for an Add... Be aware that I am staunchly PRO PIT BULL, PRO RESCUE, ANTI PETA, ANTI HSUS, and I AIN'T TOO CRAZY ABOUT BREEDERS...I post alot of bulletins about animals and most of those are about pit bulls. If you have no interest in animals, if you think pit bulls suck, don't bother asking for the add. I just don't see the point. I also send out bulletins about kids, if you don't like kids don't add me. I'm not Wiccan, or Vegan or even Vegetarian, but it's fine with me if you are. If it's not fine with you that I'm not, don't add me. That's all, thanks for reading.
What can I say, except...

A Prayer of a Pit Bull
Spirit in the sky, who watches over all animals:
It is my prayer and my request that you grant greater understanding, and acceptance to humans;
those who love us, and those who hate us.
That they will know how loyal we are, how brave we are, and how loving we are. Help them to accept us as a breed in whole, and not let the few tragedies shine brighter than the many great traits that we have.

And those who would kill me, let them know, I forgive them, even though I don't understand their hatred. And those who would beat me, let them know I still love them, even though it is not the honorable way.

Thank you for all the strong traits that you have given to me, and my breed. Help those to know that I stand for courage, strength, loyalty, and bravery. And as my master already knows, let those who would come against my family know that I would surely die defending them.

And just one last thing that I would ask:
Let my master know, that if you should call me away, that I will wait patiently at those pearly gates until the one who chose me, comes home.

Amen.

American Pit Bull Terriers
You made me what I am today,courage at its best.
You wanted me to know no fear,a cut above the rest.
Not only did I master that,I've thrown in loyalty, too.
Look past my eyes into my soul,you know I'd die for you.
I'll watch your kids, I'll watch your house.
Your praise will be my crown.
Ask what you will - I'll do my best, I'll even be your clown.
But some of you don't like me. I'm sure I don't know why.
The only thing I'm guilty of is courage, love and try.
But still they want to see me go, they want my breed to end.
Will I see you sitting idly by? You, whom I call a friend?
You made me what I am today, you never saw me waiver.
I've done my best to keep you safe, Won't you please return the favor.
