Stop the Genocide of Pit Bulls & Bulldogs in Florida!
Pit bull looking dogs are being killed all throughout Florida in increasingly larger numbers. In some counties, they are reportedly being killed by the hundreds every day. These dogs are killed based on the way they look not their temperament. This could be happening at your own local animal "shelter" or pound! In Polk County, it has been said that over a hundred pit bulls are killed each day. Apparently, they will not adopt out ANY pit bulls, increasing the number of pit bulls and pit bull looking dogs that get killed.
We shouldn't discriminate against a dog based on how it looks. These are dogs that deserve a chance at life. The fact that so many of them are being killed without a chance is absolutely horrendous. Pit bull discrimination and bans are just not effective!
Polk County Animal Services is allowing organizations such as Mike's Dog House, a dog rescue based out of Palatka, Fl, to rescue bullies from the county shelter. They are working to rescue adoptable dogs from Polk to match them with caring, permanent families. However, rescuing dogs costs money and donations have been low.

Taht is inhumane to kill an animal on its breed. i have 2 wonderful girl pit bulls that are part of the family, and for someone to kill an intelligent, pleasing, lovable animal is wrong.
Our family has had bull dogs, all types for the past 22 years. They have been like our children and protected us. We have a blue pitt right now who loves our 18 month old grandson. All bull dogs are not bad. Twenty years ago it was the dobermans that were the bad dogs.
I own a chocolate rednose pit. There is nothing wrong with him. He is my best dog.
This needs to stop. Pit bulls are great family pets. I own a love able pit bull she is part of our family!
Stop the destroying of Pit Bulls! I sincerely believe it is the owners who do not take the responsibility of raising them correctly. To many are being euthanized for just having the name of "PIT". People that use them to fight should never be allowed to own any type of animal and be branded they use animals to fight!!!
Our government is absolutely pathetic if they're trying to outlaw a breed of dogs. Escepcially when that breed happens to be the most loving. -_-'

They are not bad dogs, there can only be bad owners. |
The american pit bull terrier is the MOST LOVING, family pet i or any one i know who has owned one has ever experienced, and i grew up on a ranch with collies and german shepards, the (apbt's)is smarter as well. The apbt lacks the human agression found in so many other breeds of dogs due to two hundred years of selective breeding elemenating "man biters". If the truth where to be sought out from knowledgeable real dog authorities instead from biased groups that want to see this wonderfull dogs dimise, and/or anywho doubted was to take one of those abandonded puppys/dogs home they would beleive.
