PETITION TO STOP BSL IN TEXAS
We need to prevent any State Legislative to declare a specific breed or mixed breeds as a Vicious or Potentially Dangerous animal. Our State or any State should inherently recognize that dogs are personal property. Banning BSL to pass in Texas allows a Bill for Federal Legislation to enact which protects ownership of property rights and the legal use of rights in domestic animals. It ensures NO City or State shall prohibit ownership of Pits nor shall it restrict the ownership of any specific dog breeds. We must stop the senseless banning of these amazing, beautiful, intelligent dogs, and ban the ignorant, cold-hearted, abusive owners who ruin this breed and/or any breed. We must put an end to such unjust policies by fighting breed specific legislation and promoting a positive outlook and an accurate image of Pit Bulls. You only hear, read and see what the media/press portrays of these dogs. It should not solely be blamed on the breed itself but on the dog owners up bringing of this breed(s). Breed-specific laws will not protect our communities. An owner intent on using s/hes dogs for malicious purposes will simply switch to another type of breed and continue to jeopardize public safety. This list of regulated breeds or types could grow every year without ever addressing responsible dog ownership. In this case deeds, not breeds, should be addressed. Breed-specific laws are extremely unfair and unjust to responsible owners of these so-called Vicious animals. Breed-specific laws can cause an increase in costs for communities. Shelter costs for the community could rise as citizens abandon targeted breeds, and the adoptable dogs of the targeted breeds would be euthanized at a shelter. In some instances, breed-specific laws have been overturned on constitutional grounds; due to difficulties and it being impossible to determine of what a dog would become. Keep in mind the breed-specific laws may be deemed unconstitutionally vague. This law can potentially also be found to involve the taking of property without due process. Labeling of the Pit Bull breed as Vicious and dangerous dogs are implemented by narrow-minded and uneducated individuals of this breed(s). Pit Bulls are not all Vicious and were not genetically predisposed to being Vicious. If our State Legislative validates BSL- Breed Specific Law, they are clearly stating that Pits are no longer allowed to be kept as family members in our homes. Please Help Prevent this from occurring to responsible and loyal Pit Bull owners in the State of Texas.

- I think Pit bull owners should have the right to keep their dogs, as long as they are not bothering anyone and are kept on their own leash while their owners have them out. Not ALL Pitbulls are mean!

- This is disgusting and the fact that you want to ban a breed is wrong, it will not solve anyhting, the people who harm dogs and train them to be aggresive will just pick another breed to abuse and what will you do then?! Keep banning every breed till there are non left? Punish the deed not the breed. I refuse to every give up my loving family pit bull, I would rather never step foot in texas again.

- Banning the breed is not the answer. They are wonderful dogs and companions and its peoples ignorance that is creating all this hate. People should be held liable for what some force these beautiful dogs to do. Punish the deed not the Breed!!!
