Help fight proposed anti-dog legislation in Norway

To:  Norwegian Justice department

A new law proposition in Norway has been made official. This proposition is largely based on the opinions of a few men, and all the major dog organizations in Norway have been ignored during the making of the proposition. Among other things it includes a ban on a further two breeds; the American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. This proposition is in general very "anti-dog", and also states that anyone who feels threatened by a dog can legally kill the dog, no questions asked.

Norwegian dog owners demand that the proposed law be returned to the Justice minister, and also demand a more thorough law more suitable for our time. We also demand that the law is made so that organized, responsible dog ownership is not punished.

We demand that dog organizations be heard in the making of the law, as they are the ones that have the knowledge and resources needed to make a fair and efficient dog law. Much more so than the persons and commercial groups behind the present proposition.

We want a dog law that:
Provides for healthy and responsible dog ownership.
Is ethically correct, and not a law that only makes it more difficult to keep a dog.
Removes the possibilty of unwanted use and abuse of dogs.
Not only has limitations but also helps with a positive, responsible dog ownership.
Does NOT have a great influence of private interests and opinions.
Has common regulations for all the land.
Does NOT include breed specific legislation.
We want a dog law that is a result of the actual situation in society today.
We, as responsible dog owners, demand to be heard.
