We are approaching a sad anniversary for pit bull advocates everywhere.  On May 9, 2005, Denver reinstituted its ban on 'pit bulls,' and shockwaves were felt across the country.  The heartless ban, which does not have a grandfather clause, has caused close to 2,000 innocent animals to be destroyed for no reason other than their appearance.  Beloved family companions and spoiled pets were taken from responsible owners who were left to deal with the gaping holes left in their lives.    On Wednesday, May 9, 2007, at 9:00 pm (EST), please light a candle in memory of the innocent creatures who died at the hands of hatred and discrimination.  Please take a few moments to remember these innocent animals, as well as their families grieving their losses.  * * * *

A day to promote responsible pit bull ownership!   Calling all responsible pit bull owners/advocates/fanciers...  Please mark Saturday, October 20, 2007 on your calendars for the first nationwide Pit Bull Awareness Day.     In light of the constant negative publicity that surrounds pit bulls, we felt it was time to establish a day to focus on these incredible dogs and their responsible owners.  The media berates our dogs daily.  Legislators have labeled pit bull owners as the "criminal element" who only own pit bulls to enhance their macho image.    Its time we set the record straight.    Regardless of where you are located, please join Bless the Bullys and the Bull Breed Alliance of Tennessee in celebrating this wonderful breed and their devoted, responsible owners/advocates.    Please participate in an activity on October 20, 2007 to promote and celebrate responsible pit bull ownership.  Regardless of the activity you choose - a dog walk, a candlelight vigil, an educational workshop or just a friendly get together - please sign up to participate so people in your area know and can participate and promote responsible ownership with you.        Its time to show the world that all pit bull owners ARE NOT alike, and that responsible pit bull owners are no longer willing to sit back and be judged by the image set by the visible minority of irresponsible owners.   It will take time to reverse the damage already done, but together, we can change the image bestowed upon our dogs (and their owners)!       To participate and add an event in your town, just fill in the form below.  (You can fill in the actual event at a later date.)

 

**With the exception of outstanding breed ambassadors, we encourage public events to involve dog owners only.

Pitbulls are not mean unless you make them that way. It's to bad that public hysteria condemned many innocent animals to be put down. Now there is talk about executing dogs of every breed the first time they bite someone, no matter the cause.

I wish insurance companies realized that these dogs are not bad. One of my clients lost their dream home, because of the amount their insurance would cost them because of her Pitbull. The underwritters said it was to much along with what she would be paying for month and turned her loan down unless she got rid of the dog. SHE REFUSSED and is now in hunts for another lender. Kinda sad, considering it is one of the nicest dogs I have ever met.

So sad that people are so ignorant to discriminate against such a loving breed when it should be against irresponsible owners of any breed! I know Christina's pit bull, Merlot and she is a big baby~my little boy loves her and her kisses!

Christina, I am not familiar with the Pit Bull breed. I have personally not been attracted to them. But, it reminds me of people's willingness to lump races together and profile by association. I will visit your posts more often. I particularly appreciate the Tennessee Walking Horse and the Tennesee Caves. Those are excellent Localism pieces.
