BSL. Have you ever heard of that? It stand for breed specific legislation and it means that since my family has pit bull in it somewhere down the line, that people don't want me around. Huh?? That seems a bit crazy. The lady was telling me about a dog in Detroit, MI that was put to sleep just because it looked like a pit bull. Are you kidding me? Who gets to decide who looks like a pit bull? The way Ike acts sometimes, I'd say he's all pit bull, but no one's trying to put him to sleep because he doesn't look like one.
She said that there is a law in that city and probably other cities that says if a pitbull is picked up by animal control and the owners don't come and claim it, that the dog is euthanized. Even if a rescue or shelter is willing to take him and find him a new home. What's the sense in that?
Check out the city that you live in and see if this is how they operate. If it is, I beg you to talk to other people in your community, your council members, and the police. Get this changed. If I could speak human I would tell everyone, but since I can't will you do it for me?
