We will not stand for the bullying of bully breeds, Antonovich!

In light of Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich's push for BSL in California, we have decided to make this month about dog behavior, media sensationalism and the dangers of Breed Specific Legislation in the hopes that Michael Antonovich has a change of heart and the bullying of bully breeds ends.

If you have not yet heard or seen the news about the press release given by Michael Antonovich's spokesman Tony Bell, here is a direct quote about their stance on the California law banning BSL:

"We're going to go back to the state legislature and see if we can change that law, allow the local communities to make up their own minds with regards to breeds," said Tony Bell, spokesman for Antonovich. "Pit bulls are a different breed of animal. They're capable of incredible damage to humans, to other dogs, to horses."

While Michael Antonovich's office is specifically targeting pit bulls, this also allows for communities to target any specific dog breed that they choose -- this is BSL, BREED specific legislation. Regardless of how you feel toward pit bulls, your family dog may be your community's next target. It was not long ago that German Shepards were the boogeymen of the dog world; along with Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers

As responsible dog guardians and dog lovers, we all need to set aside our differences and fight to protect the dogs that have become our family members and part of our every day lives. Please contact Michael Antonovich's office (respectfully) and tell them that we as animal guardians will not stand for the singling out and destruction of any breed or living creature.
