Simply because there are immature, dog owners out there that don’t understand the certain levels of owning a dog, especially one as strong as a pit bull doesn’t mean there should be something as extreme as a bill passed to EXTERMINATE the pit bull breed. For those of us who own one, and treat them right, love them with all their hearts, take care of them and CHOOSE to own one. Shouldn’t be told to kill our pets, whom we love and cherish, just like everyone else who owns an animal no matter the size, breed, or even if its a rabbit, a bird, a lizard they are all capable of hurting someone and/or something. But we’re not going to pass a Bill to EXTERMINATE cats because they ‘kill’ mice. This is absurd to even consider. I would also like to know how people were allowed to start shelters, a place for a PIT BULL to go if he needed help. For pit bulls who were abused and used as fighters, we were given the permission to house them and help them, and now we’re to a completely new place, where we just want to kill them all off. Whoever made this bill should be euthanized. Then they will no longer be a danger to my pit bull.

THIS IS SO STUPID! HOW CAN PEOPLE DO THAT? SOMEONE TRY TO DO SOMETHING W/ MY DOGS AND THEY WILL SEE! AND THEN THE SAME STATES THAT WANT TO BAN PIT BULLS ARE AGAINST DEATH PENALTY! WHAT A FUNNY WORLD! WHAT ABOUT BAN ALL THE SEX OFFENDER, SERIAL KILLERS AND CRIMINALS OUT THERE? WOULDNT THAT BE A MUCH SAFIER THING FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND MUCH BETTER MONEY SPENT? COME ON NOW! THANK GOD IT IS NOW DEAD! LETS JUST HOPE THEY WONT TRY IN ANY OTHER STATE!

How can such decisions be made? I know a American Pit Bull Terrier who has tied to a car and dragged to death – what about such people? Will there a ban on humans also? How can one person decide if a breed of dogs should exist or not? Just because in 43 years, this breed of dogs bit 3 people to death? What are they doing about criminals – thieves, terrorists, murderers?

She must be a CAT person! this kind of legislation remindes me of how white people treated the Savages other wise known as American-Indians. You know , destroy everything you dont know anything about. Then decide that, after you have eradicated the breed that maybe it was a mistake. I am very happy that I do not live in Montana. I think that had dog lovers known that this republican thinks this way that she would have never been elected to an office that has any power what-so-ever.

I just got a Pitbull a couple months ago. Well my insurance (homeowners) found out and now they want to cancel me unless I get rid of him. I live in Virginia and I just dont think that it is fair for them to be able to do this. Is it???/ If so does anyone know of an insurance company that will take me because of my dog???

This is the email I sent to Robyn Driscoll regarding the ban of pitbulls in Montana. Feel free to share it with the rest of the dogster world, you can
even copy it and send it with your own name if they like. I thought I would share it in case people are having a hard time coming up with something to say. Below is the email.

Mrs. Driscoll:

Dogs do not bite because of the breed they are, bans on breeds are not going to
make communities safer. Instead they penalize responsible owners instead of
penalizing the people who are abusing and neglecting these animals.

There needs to be tougher laws on people who fight, abuse and neglect dogs. If
there were strictor laws and people were held accountable for their actions
rather then just getting a slap on the wrist, we would not have so many vicious
animals in our community.

Just because a dog has been abused does not mean it can not be rehabilitated
and placed in home to live out the rest of their lives. I believe you should
look at the people that are causing these kind of reactions from animals rather
then single out a breed that is getting a bad reputation because of what society
has choose to do with that breed.

Thank you,
