Don't Worry, Pit Bulls Aren't the Only Breed Discriminated

[Alysser]

The sad thing is,There is nothing that we can do,and there will never be anything we can do to change this.When anyone with authority gets these things in there head,there is no stopping them.They call the shots and we have to obey.

I have always hoped, someday maybe a case will make it all the way up to the Supreme Court and they can rule it Unconstitutional. I don't believe that there is nothing we can do, I never have. I will always have the bleak hope that maybe someday we'll get our justice for this. This country was founded on the ideals of freedom and liberty. Yet, we get our choice of dog breeds taken away from us. It's just so sickly hypocritical, that I hope one day a smart politician (Do those even exist?) will push for a change. I have written letters to Washington, during both the bush and now Obama administration on this issue and have recieved nothing in return. Not that I expected anything, but I had hoped. State-wise, I have recieved the same treatment. LUCKILY, for now, BSL laws are only on the state-level. They have no reached federal highs yet that I know of. But if we don't put a stop to it soon, we might now be able to stop it from getting there.

I hear what you are saying,Luckily were i am we dont get much of that.Its moreless like a Childrens Aid (CAS) deal around here,I have had neighbors call the township on me for the dogs barking.There is Bylaws..When the lad showed up,The dogs barked at him and after he was in the house they all calmed down.I did not get mad at him he was doing his job,But from observing the situation,He said if there was any other calls he would just throw them away.My dogs bark..Only when someone pulls into the driveway or knocks on our door.And im fine with that.But you get the neighbors who have NO animals,and every little thing ticks them off.In life you will never be able to keep every person happy.Which is fine by me.


Luckily being in the country you dont get much of a hassle,But i know the bigger cities around me have by laws,I think it is only against Pit Bulls..Which is silly..Around here we are surrounded by Pitts..and they are all great friendly dogs..Im not sure what law is out on them,Only one im aware of is the muzzling..When out in public. You have to have them muzzled.I really do not pay much attention,if i did my blood would be boiling 24/7.

We can hope for change...Canada is different then the USA.We dont have all these restrictions like some places in the states,for that im happy.I truly feel for the ones that have to deal with the discrimintation on a daily basis!

It is so rotten that there's a restriction on breed or size no matter what the cause is. Like someone said above... i feel like it is unconstitutional. I do understand that there are some rotten dogs out there, but on the same hand I feel like it should be taken on a case by case basis. I think possible landlords should at least take the time out to meet these animals and their humans so not to automatically rule out the possibility of having one of the best tenants they could have asked for. I think that a landlord should put a restriction on the number of animals at a home and/or put in their lease agreement that the dog needs to be confined while the tenant is not home.
