Stupid BSL!

[Roxyluvsme13]

I'm sorry to post another thread, but this just made me reallly mad, plus the way my mom acted about it.
We went to the Fireworks show tonight, and we took Lily. She was a very good girl, and she only got scared once. Anyways, there were about 5-6 other dogs I saw come, two of those being pit bulls! So a little later on I saw the Pit bulls and their owners leaving, so I suppose the Police officers made them take their dogs home! They were the only 2 dogs that left, and ugh it just made me so mad. I don't see why people assume they're all vicious..
Then, my mom..

Me: I can't believe they did that.
Mom: I can.
Me: It's not fair!
Mom: Yes it is.
Me: Well, if the dogs were vicious WHY would their owners have brought them? That's just plain stupid.
Mom: Some people are just stupid.

I can't believe her! Then, later on she said: If we would have brought Roxy they would have made us take her home.

Why does she have to believe the media and not me? She thinks I fight for stupid things! She said exactly, "You fight for the stupidest of things." Such as Vegetarianism (which thanks to her I gave up), and basically any other animal thing that she doesn't like, Chaining, BSL, etc.. It's a "stupid" fight.

*sigh*

I apologize for my rant, but it just erked me really bad.

I hate how people listen to everything they hear (bad things) about pit bulls! I wish there was no such thing as BSL.

That is so pathetic! I had to convience my mom to be unlike your mom. I bet you can barely live with her hating pit bulls I cannot believe the police did that, THEY are the stupid ones (excuse my language). Why do people have to listen to the media and their stupid 'stories'? I bet, no, actually, I know that they make up stuff, like when a Boxer attacks someone, they call the Boxer a pit bull so they get a worse rap. I am so mad about BSL I'm working on a website about it:

I already have a site, http://freewebs.com/dawglove
Alicia (buttercup) and I run it..

I know, I absolutely can not believe they did that. One of the Pitties was a PUPPY!

I don't want to sound argumentive or anything, BUT you don't KNOW for sure that the police made them leave It is sad how people belive everything they hear, though

Yeah, but someone did. Since they were the only 2 dogs that left.. .

[Lady's Human]

Maybe they came together and left together of their own free will?

They could have left for any reason - that their people had another obligation, that their people decided the loud noises were too much for their dogs, any reason. You should not make assumptions about why they were leaving, just as people should not make an assumption about a dog because of its breed.

And thats what I was getting at. Thanks Karen.

Are pit bulls banned in your area? If not, I don’t think a cop could legally make them leave with their dogs. I live in Colorado, where we are the pit bull is not banned but they are in Denver. You cant own one period. The people that owned them had to give them up. You cant even pas through Denver or this can happen:



If you are going on vacation and you are taking your dogs
do NOT travel through Denver.

They can take your dogs even if you are passing through
and you are subject to...are you ready?

$999 fine PER DOG
90 Days in Jail PER DOG.

Now I want to make this clear, these laws apply to you
even if you are PASSING THROUGH. You don't have to
be a resident. If you are driving through Denver and
are caught with your dog, they can take your dog from
you and you are subject to the above fines and jail
time.


That is so ridiculous, you don’t know how mad and sad that makes me. It's to bad your mom has the attitude she does about pit bulls, sadly a lot of people think like her.

Yeah, but I'm just saying they looked pretty mad when they left, and it was only the 2 pits that left, owned by DIFFERENT people.. so..

Jadapit, oh my gosh! That's horrible.. Remind me to never take Roxy through Denver :/

[Lady's Human]

According to a site I just looked at, the only city in TN with enforceable BSL is Sparta.

There a many reasons people can leave an event upset. Assuming it's because of the police without knowing..... well, there's a saying about assuming that I'll leave out of here.

Grrr.
In my town NO dogs are allowed in the park when they have a band in the gazebo. They choose to kick off of PUBLIC PROPERTY even the most well behaved dogs (Niño) just because there is live music playing. Ugh, makes me want to move back to Evanston. (Liberal city I used to live in that has street and art fairs and all the dogs come and have fun)

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Ughh! I HATE, HATE, BSL! Mu mom is the exact same way...I try my very hardest to explain to her, that Pit Bulls are not ment to be agressive... but, oh well...

[IRescue452]

I'm sorry that happened, and that your mother agreed. No dogs are allowed at any parks or events in my town. We can get fined for carrying a dog through the park in a pet carrier.
