And of course it makes ZERO sense, WOOF! Here is this week’s load of news on the BS of BSL (breed specific legislation) - some rethinking their long-term position on it, others thinking to implement and yet others who have just passed BSL. It doesn’t work bepaws humans just switch breeds, WOOF! Of course there is an agenda to end ALL breeds, all domestic pets - except for the elite of course. Another VERY evil agenda. And like all agendas it boils down to economics and power. And once again animals are punished for human misdeeds…

The news:
Scottsbluff, NE: Pitbull Bans a Tough Call
St. Marys, OH: Committee Hears Dog Options
Provo, UT: To consider vicious dog measure
People Against BSL in Cayman Islands
Maysville, KY: BSL Approved
Aurora, CO: City reports fewer bites, licenses for restricted breeds
Council revises proposed dog law:Spay/neuter mandate for first offense called ‘extreme’
Saving Michael Vick’s Dogs

BNB Response to the mandatory spay/neuter of “dangerous dogs” - what in the world has their gonads EVER had to do with biting???????? Why do the legislators think that end is the problem? Why this obsession with gonad removal??? Well, have you ever thought it was part of the “agenda” to end breeds altogether???? Hmmm? Neutering has ZERO to do with biting. ALL dogs can bite - neutered or otherwise so this has to be one of the most asinine legislations EVER! We’ll be putting our viewpoint on ALL of this in an upcoming book

One response to the BSL Madness:
An Apology to Breed Ban Enthusiasts

I’m sorry you are frightened of my dogs and are trying to have them killed because they are pitbulls.

I’m sorry you lack the understanding of this breed’s true history, gentleness with people, wonderful temperament, intelligence and behavioral conformation.

I’m sorry you won’t read the ATTS stats regarding our breed’s true temperament, putting it in the top four for temperament, scoring better than breeds like Golden Retrievers, and cocker spaniels.

I’m sorry that you side with and protect animal abusers by marking the breed of dog, and not the irresponsibility of the owner.

I’m sorry that by your logic I could steal a car, run some people over with it and then you can blame the make of car for the accident, as I walk free.

I’m sorry you generalize one breed of dog with one group of people.

I’m sorry you can’t see the love and determination that many often highly educated, non-criminal and “normal” types of people show towards this breed and the great personal sacrifices that they make to take care of their dog responsibly.

I’m sorry you cannot go into the shelters and see the hundreds of abandoned and abused pitbulls, dying only for the inane “crime” of being born the breed they are.

I’m sorry you cannot see the look of disappointment in their eyes as someone walks by their kennel, and refuses to consider adopting them based on an ill educated fear mongering reporter.

I’m sorry that you cannot be there when the animal looks at a human for the last time, and in spite of betrayed by all humans they have met, their tail still wags as someone approaches with the syringe of Euthinol.

I’m sorry you cannot be there when law enforcement shoots one of your dogs dead inside it’s own home in front of the children it mutually loves for simply getting off the dog bed and walking over to say hello with it’s tail wagging.

I’m sorry you cannot be there to rescue pitbull puppies from a plastic bag in a dumpster, dumped there by someone switching their illegal, and inhumane activities to another, more lucrative breed.

I’m sorry you cannot understand the difference between canine and human aggression, in the way that this breed can.

Yes, I’m saying my pitbull is smarter then you.

I’m sorry that the medieval witch hunting genetics of intolerance, generalization, and racism make you feel the need to vilify a breed of dog.

I’m sorry that justice, equality, tolerance, common sense are all things you hold dear and expect from others, but do not yourself offer them towards a pitbull or its caregiver.

I’m sorry that you don’t take the constructive time to petition changes that would deal out serious punishment to the real animal abusers.

I’m sorry you cannot see the disappointed look on a puppy’s face when the people petting it quickly frown, and walk away when you tell them it is a pitbull.

I’m sorry you feel the need to terrorize my family and my dogs for crimes we never have and never will commit.

I’m sorry you don’t have to live in fear of your dog’s safety from hysterical, and mentally unstable people trying to inflict all manner of evil upon your dogs.

I’m sorry that you cannot see my breed working in some of the best Search and Rescue groups in the world, saving countless lives each year.

I’m sorry our media censors and refuses to print the breed name “pitbull’ when in connection with a positive act such as saving a person or child from a burning house, drowning, wild attacking animals, etc.

I’m sorry you cannot see the many pitbulls registered as therapy dogs and bringing so much joy to another misunderstood, neglected demographic in our society, the senior citizen.

I am sorry you can’t see a pitbull kiss a child, step carefully over a kitten, or play in a sunbeam.

I’m sorry you cannot wake in the morning to feel a warm pitbull cuddled next to you in bed, and know
that you are their total world, and even if the house caught fire and trapped you, they would stay with you to the end.

But, now that I really think about it, I’m not at all sorry you don’t own a pitbull – you do not deserve one.
