STOP Independence Missouri from banning Pitt Bulls & other aggressive breed dogs

Please help us stop Independence Missouri from banning Pitt Bulls & other "aggressive" breed dogs!

Unfortunatly all over America, people are jumping on the band wagon trying to ban Pitts and other dogs such as the Rottweiler, Doberman, and so forth. News and publicity has given these dogs a bad rap and has scared so many people with these dogs. I have NEVER been bitten by a large dog but have been bitten on several accounts by smaller dogs. Many of our rescuers, friends, and family will tell you the same thing. (I am around many dogs since I am in animal rescue.) 

Here's a bit of what we up against...

As sensible and responsible "owners", we know all too well that a dog or any other animal will be a product of their enviroment. A bad "owner", more times than not, raise a "bad" dog. It's the same as raising a child.

Please judge the "owner", not the breed! Please help us make a difference!

Please watch these video clips I have found and tell me that all Pitts are bad, that Pitts can't love or be loved, they don't make good family members, and that they were born to die...... WARNING- if you are as compassionate as I am, grab some tissue.
