For those that don't know, localities all over the U.S. are passing BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) outlawing "pit bulls" (which basically is anything the local Animal Control decides is a "pit bull"). They are confiscating beloved, loyal family pets that have never harmed anyone or anything simply based on appearance, and destroying them leaving their families heartbroken and devastated. This is a completely irrational and knee-jerk response to dog bites. Rather than focusing on owner responsibility for socializing, training, containing and maintaining their dogs, they pass "feel-good" legislation. One of the worst attacks we have had where I live, was by a Labrador Retriever running loose. Dog attacks are NOT about BREED or APPEARANCE! They are about owner responsibility.

The H$U$ Lawyers got to WSB-TV, but that's O.K. We just had to go to Iran to find it! Here is the video report that the H$U$ does NOT want you to see:

The Humane Society of the United States (H$U$) is NOTabout finding homes and caring for poor little sad-eyed puppies and kittens. It is the largest fund-raising organization in the world whose aim is the TOTAL ELIMINATION OF ALL ANIMAL USE BY PEOPLE through legislation. Most of the funds go for political lobbying. They intend to make pet-ownership so expensive, legally risky, difficult, and just plain unfun that fewer and fewer homes will be available to pets. Any "help" they give to genuine Animal Shelters, they CHARGE for. PLEASE do NOT donate to them. Give your hard-earned money to your local shelter and rescues that actually DO help care for animals.

A raid was conducted on Wildside Kennels in North Carolina. 147 dogs of all ages were confiscated. They were accused of being fighting dogs. On the "expert" advice of the H$U$, the judge in the case ordered ALL animals euthanized in spite of the MANY organizations begging to take these dogs, care for them, and cover all costs associated with them. Ignoring the tremendous success of rehabbing Michael Vick's dogs (who really were fighting dogs), the H$U$ still advocated slaughtering ALL of them....even the tiny 2 week old puppies. This video is a tribute to these wonderful dogs, the people who loved them, and the vigil held on their behalf. This action has earned the H$U$ the title of "THE INHUMANE SOCIETY" and proves once and for all that they are NOT about saving and caring for animals with all their multi-millions of dollars, but about eliminating animals and hurting people.
"Friends Don't Let Friends Give to the H$U$" if they really want to help animals!

Dogs Across America
I've raised 3 kids as a single parent (divorced) with the help of a grandma and great-grandma. My youngest one is turning 21 January. I am a retired elementary school teacher and was working on my Specialist's Degree in Reading before Hurricane Charley hit and turned our world upside-down. We have only recently gotten back into a house, and our old house is still sitting damaged from the storm.
Currently I have 2 dogs. (This is always changing). I had been running a 6-dog dryland team, but most of the team consisted of fosters which have all as of this date been adopted. I have done rescue and fostering for a number of years (both dogs and cats). I just have my two personal dogs, the Catahoula brothers, Sharky and Keiko who are 10 years old.
I am enjoy promoting the sport of Dryland Mushing and other dog-powered sports such as carting, sulkying, canicross, bikjoring, scootering, skijoring, rollerbladjoring, etc. as they are excellent activities to create a bond between dog and human. Most people cannot walk as far as it takes to give a dog adequate exercise. However, engaging in a dog-powered sport with your canine will let it expend energy, travel and experience new sights, sounds, and scents; and allow you and your dog to develop a working partnership. We are trying to spearhead a movement to get a club for the southeastern U.S. so that we can have sanctioned races. However, at the moment, I would be happy just to meet some people to get together for some Fun Runs.
I am also an advocate of bully-breeds fighting against Breed Specific Legislation wherever it rears its hateful head; and lobby against bad dog law that seeks to take away our rights as dog owners to love, care, and enjoy our pets and working animals.
