Mandy is half Pit. She REALLY looked like a Pit when she was skinny, now that she's a fattie she doesn't look all muscly like she did before. Is this for the whole country to participate or just California?

I think it's mostly for those in Cali, but the more people participating everywhere the more the message will be felt everywhere, including those cities even tinkering with the idea of BSL.

I don't condone breed specific legistlation and I have a soft spot in my heart for pit bulls, however I do agree with the spay/neuter approach that california is taking, I wish it were the same for all breeds.

OH MY GOSH! THEY CANT DO THIS!!!!

That is SO Unfair! Over half those dogs I've never met a dangerous one! AND It's NOT the Dog's Fault!!!! Its The stupid IDIOT owners!!! GOSH!!! This makes me all mad...Sorry I just cant STAND this!!!

Even though I live on the other half of the US, I will SO do this protest. This is NOT Fair!!! I've never met a mean Siberian Husky, or Akita! Boxer either!

I've met a lot of mean Huskies, as well as mean Rotties, GSDs, and Chows. However, it's usually either a result of bad breeding, a bad owner, or both. I've met well-bred dogs of each breed who are owned by good owners that are just as sweet as can be.

But, a Shar Pei? I've never even heard of them being aggressive! Is this the new breed they're going to start banning?

I havent! But It is probably because of bad breeding/bad owner! Any dog can become aggressive if they have a bad owner/bad breeding...

even i dont live in USA or have breed specific banning, i HATE that, and the people that support that only because a dog did something bad they blame the breed, blame the dog not the breed and even so blame the owner he´s the one responsible for the dog and his behavior (training). it makes me think of racism and i tought we were all over that......... now it´s with pets........so what would be next???

I agree with the S/N part also and also wish it was for all breeds then there wouldn't be a bunch of people breeding and creating more unstable dogs and therefore less dog attacks by any breed.

ugh thats so stupid.

We should all move somewhere where we wouldnt have to worry about this B.S!
i havent heard of a Bull Terrier attack,ever.Has there been one recently,or are they just banning them just because they are related to a pit? Those poor owners in Cali
