    Exterminating Pit Bulls? What?!

    Angry Has anyone else heard about this, I actually read it in a bulletin a friend posted on myspace, apparently it's going around. I am just curious as if this is really true or not because if it is I think it's just plain sick. I'm sorry if the pictures and stuff don't work. Crying

    Against it.

     If any of you out there are my friends, I ask you out of the kindness of my heart to repost this. If you're not my friend, I ask you search for the source compassion in your soul and repost this anyway. More importantly, if you're in a position to, DO something about it [:(] [:(] [:(]

        This is about California legislation being passed to exterminate pit bulls.  If it  passes in California, it could be on it's way to anywhere.  Someone has to try to make a difference...what if it were your pet? 

     It would be great if Myspace could be used for something good other than getting dates.  Please pass the word along and post this...so as many people can see this as possible

    Wow! At least it is not true. Dog lovers and animal rights people would never allow something like that to happen anyway.

    I get these mass e-mailings from people all the time about this stuff and other crap, and at least 99% of the time is it BS, I just wish more people would look at snopes before freaking out and re-posting it everywhere, thank you Vita for doing just that.  Just want to add that I am pretty sure this a bill that would never get passed anywhere without pit owners finding out.

    but they actually have banned pit bulls in some places. Denver comes to mind. They seized and killed a number of the poor critters.

    I live in California and I volunteer at an animal shelter - I haven't heard of this pending bill.  It can't be true.  This wouldn't go through, anyway.  So many people would fight it!

    I'm in CA too, and this is the first I've heard about that.  I really think that if this were true, it would have been on the news and/or in one of the major newspapers.

    Don't be so sure about that... BSL is sick and scary, and its already happened in Detroit and Ontario with full out pit bull bans...
     
    *ETA: There is a councilman in New York City that has proposed a resolution to overturn the law in New York State banning breed specific legislation.  His plan is to ban pit bulls in NYC.... see my post in advocacy...
     
    Its not all that far fetched... and yes, something must be done.
