dobermandude · 03-02-2009, 01:56 AM

Radical new bill talks of banning pit bulls in Ore., euthanizing them | KATU.com - Portland, Oregon | Local & Regional

I know the people of DT are well educated enough to know the issue of BSL and how terrible it is, so I wont even go into it, but PLEASE take a second and sign the petition, and if you have time write Oregon senators. Zoey (my girlfriends pitbull) says Thank You!

Signed and voted NO!!! Disgusting legislation.

dobermandude · 03-02-2009, 10:16 PM

Well, we did it!

"Pit bull bill that really riled folks up will go no further, lawmaker says"
Pit bull bill that really riled folks up will go no further, lawmaker says | KATU.com - Portland, Oregon | News

Now if only they would enact some real legislation to get tougher on irresponsible dog owners and educate the owners of power breeds such as pit bulls etc. something constructive would actually come from all this. Sadly, they most likely will do nothing and we will see this same horrible bill down the road after the media sensationalizes the next "pit bull attack", blaming the breed and ignoring the circumstances of the ignorant owner.

I urge you all to continue writing our senators and ask them to get tough on these irresponsible dog owners with laws like the ones found here:
Model Non-Breed-Specific Ordinances « Stop BSL

If we dont, you can bet this bill will be back soon after the next neglected and unstable dog gets loose and hurts somebody.
