Default Australia to search and destroy Pitbulls

This is so sad. BSL has to be stopped. Australia also has a different opinion on what a Pitbull is, so they will be also killing dogs that aren't even Pits. Think about how you would feel if you had your dog, Pit or not since a pup and now he is going to be hunted down and killed. And, what breed will be next that they decide is too dangerous? I wish I could find the picture of a gun, cigarrettes and a Pitbull and it shows the statistics, then says and who is dangerous? Or the one with a set of different cultured men pictured and one Pitbull and it says "Racial Profiling is wrong." This whole BSL thing just breaks my heart. I have Yorkies but it is just simply terrible that people are going to have their dogs seized and killed due to the breed. Tried and convicted before they even did anything wrong. Also the UK has poor Lenox who this family has had since it was a little 5 week old puppy. He was taken when he was I believe five years old, with the family five years. He was neutered and microchipped and never a complaint and the government took him and he's been living in a dirt pit for two years as they fight to save him. The poor 12 year old girl whose pet he was, has been sick about her dog to the point of self mutilation and the dog is not even a Pit it's a labrador mix with no Pit but based on his size and structure they deemed him a Pit and want to kill him. Come on guys even those that are not Pit lovers, it's just wrong.

I'm disgusted. Once they do this to one breed, they will do it to any breed. I seriously can't even fathom this, in this day and age.

It's like genocide, but targeting dogs rather than humans. More killing just enables and encourages more killing.

No I dont like pits,but that just means that I wouldnt own one. How terrible and so wrong. My nephew (by marriage) is becoming a certified trainer,his two dogs are pits. This is his way of helping to keep the breed in control and promote proper training of all breeds.
Just where does ANY government get off coming in and destroying something that belongs to you!! I can understand (well only a little) no longer allowing the breeding of and import of the dog breed,although it would take longer to not have a certain breed around it would mean not just taking lives.
So wrong,,so very wrong!!

Ann, It's terrible. I have many of the groups on my FB and every day a new state is being added to the list. One state is giving them a ammunity if they surrender their dogs now, before they are seized. In the UK a family is fighting for their dog Lenox. They've had him since he was five weeks old. They were responsible pet owners. The dog is neutered and microchipped, never been loose, never bit and never had a complaint yet he was seized from them two years ago and is languishing in a substandard dirt pit while they have been fighting to save his life. The hearing is not set for this month. The final hearing. They have a petition set up and it has many sigs. I'm hoping and praying for this family. Their littl girl is 12 years old and has been so tormented by losing her dog that she has started to self mutilate. And, the icing on the cake is that the dog is not a Pit. It has no Pit in it. He is a Labradore Retriever and soemthing else, but they are basing their decisiono on his structure. Unreal!!

P.S I also wanted to say that I went to Your Dog Is Worth It too Day this year and the most well behaved dogs their were the Pit Bulls. It was the little dogs there starting the crap with all the big dogs. Mimi was with me and I had her in my arms, bending over to look at something and did not realize a dog had walked up by us. It was a big Pit. He licked Mimi's face. Was I scared ABSOLUTELY. Why? Because of the size and yes even the breed. It could have gone bad, and that was with any dog approaching a 3 lb. Yorkie. My point is though that this Pit could have torn her head off and instead was kissing her, as was the other Pits present. All calm and well behaved. My guess is because they were raised in responsible caring homes. This is why I feel that anyone wanting to own a dog they deem dangerous (And that goes for Shepards and Rotties etc.) That they should be treated just like someone wanting to own a gun. Fingerprinted, no criminal history and licensed. And, they should be made to take an educational course as well as and obedience course with their dog. I think this will weed out many of the bad people who are getting their hands on these dogs and making them into fighters and killers.

I think the biggest issue is people acquire dogs they can't handle. It's not just big breeds, small breeds too. I would have loved to have a large breed dog in my life, but I realize they are more than I can physically handle. In my hands, a large breed dog could be dangerous, and I realize that. I have a yorkie instead, and a well behaved one too.

I feel that way too. I would have loved to have had a large breed dog. We actually had a Golden (We got him when the boys were young). My youngest was severely allergic. Instead of selling him, I located a family through our vet that lost their old sheepdog and we gave him to them. His allergies is how we started with the Yorkie breed. As he got older his allergies and asthma cleared. I would love to at this stage have one bigger dog to take walking and running etc with, and have learned to really love the Pitties, but I also know that with certain breeds they are more dominant and need a domanant owner. I can't even dominate my Yorkies. They train me. Ha ha. Hence, I need to stick with the small breeds.

Any dog can be turned in to an evil nasty bred and be bred to be a killer.
Once upon a time pit bulls where a go to safe family breed and now..
next will be the chow and the once it was the GSD and dobies.
Sadly that this will not end until people start seeing animals all of them as living breathing soul packing beings that have a right to be here.
Read dogs bite ballons and slippers kill good read.

It breaks my heart every day a rescue I have on FB does an urgen list for the NYC animal control and 99 percent of the dogs listed are PitBulls, including young puppies. I don't know if any of you read the story about Max the elevator puppy. He is a Pit and a survalience camera caught his owner waiting until the elevator door shut and then beating him senseless. Well, the camera, got him six months in jail and poor Max was given a death sentence. He ended up in the NYC shelter and was eventually put on the death list. He was deemed to have some issues. Well, if you were beaten and treated as he was you'd have issues too. A nice guy named Jeff who wrote the book An Hour w Patrick (Patrick was the starved Pit found almost dead in a garbage shute in Newark, NJ) Well, Jeff went to evaluate Max. Turned out Max was a love. Gently took meat from Jeff's hand, kissed him, walked nicely and the only interest he showed in other dogs was to make friends with him. Max is now at a rescue and is being worked with so he can be adopted. He's the lucky one. Most are put down.

let us not forget Mick Vicks dogs. Some will never make it out of rescue. some have homes. thank goodness for the guys the stood up for them. You wanted to be in the room the day someone made a hurrah comment about Mr Vick in my hearing... I made them cringe by the time I was done..

Oh don't even get me started on Vick. He's so sorry for what he's done, yet there is a video surfacing all over the net of a reporter who adopted one of his fighting dogs (Mel) and approached Vick with a picture of Mel and told him he adopted him and was told "We don't care about no dogs." And Vick just stared him down. He's sorry he got caught is all. The reporter said while Vick yells in victory Mel still cowards and convulses in fright. It's sad Pete Rose lost everything for gambling, yet Vick did what he did and got a mere slap on the wrist and is more popular now then he was before he was in jail.

I saw that that was the trigger for the explosion... Two young men in my hearing repeating that comment...... and they left the room heads hung and well put in their place... only a coward kills dogs by tossing them in a pool sends current through them.
there is nothing to be proud of and not he freaking did not do enough time for the pain he caused..

This is so true! I am strongly against BSL. Most people are morally outraged by instances of genocide throughout history, as they should be, yet some of those same people justify this. This is horrible!

Default Poor Lenox. Lie after Lie.

If you haven't already please go to Lenox's FB page and follow the link to the petition. His life is being decided on Friday, September 16. This will be the last hearing. This family has been fighting to regain custody of their dog who was taken from them just because he was deemed a Pitbull. They made this decision based on his stucture. His family was responsible. This dog was neutered, microchipped, and never had a complaint. They had him since he was five weeks old. He was five years old when the City barged in and seized him just for what they conceived to be a dangerous breed. He has been living in a dirt shed the past year while the family fights to save his life. Below is an article. The animal warden claimed and swore in court she was afraid of Lenox, and that she felt he was dangerous. Yet the pictures of her with him say differently. Why did she lie? She lied because they could not afford to lose such a high profile case. Very nice. This poor dog will be put to death based on a lie by a animal control officer and just for being a dog they deemed dangerous. Not on evidence. Racial profiling is wrong, human or animal. And by the way Lenox is a Labrador Retriever / American Bull Dog. He has no Pittie in him.
