Florida House Bill 101 states:
“An act relating to dangerous dogs; amending s. 767.14, F.S.; eliminating the prohibition of breed-specific local government regulation of dangerous dogs…”
Please write or call Rep. Thurston and politely inform him that breed bans don’t work (just ask Miami-Dade County). If you live in Florida please contact your representative and tell him/her that you are opposed to breed-specific legislation and do not want the prohibition of BSL repealed.

From the Northeast Booster:
“Councilman Vince Gardina wants to put the squeeze on owners of pit bulls and other dogs with a history of biting.
Changes to county law favored by Gardina would create a special set of requirements that owners of pit bulls or other dogs found to be vicious would have to meet before they could obtain a dog license.
Gardina said he plans to introduce a bill at the County Council’s Monday, Sept. 17, meeting that would require owners of pit bulls, pit bull mixes and dogs that have a history of biting to keep their dogs in covered, anchored runs. Those runs would have to be locked.
The bill, which was scheduled for introduction at the council’s Sept. 4 meeting but was pulled for some last-minute tinkering, also would require that the dogs covered by the bill be muzzled when out in public.” Read the rest of this entry »

From NBC 40 in New Jersey:
“Responding to what he says has been a number of recent unprovoked attacks by the breed, State Senator “Sonny” McCullough announced new legislation Thursday, that would allow municipalities to require muzzles on pit bulls, or pit bull mixes, ‘There is what’s called a vicious dog bill that’s already in place, this just gives a little more teeth to the bill’.” Read the rest of this entry »
