Victims of BSL On Your Door Step

As a dog community we have all failed when we decided not to shout out loud in support of the Pitt Bull. This was the key that unlocked the door to what has followed and continues to happen and I am NOT talking about America. It is happening on your door step, in your front yard . . .

I had heard of the many many canine lives lost in Queensland all too often.

I share what I hear and learn with other doggy people in the hope that they will understand the gravity of what is going on. Sad but true so many dismiss it as Sally j's rantings. I do rant, without doubt, but for one hell of a worthy cause; MAN'S BEST FRIEND! ! !

While surfing the web I found Victims of BSL web site. It is dedicated to the lost canine lives in Queensland, Australia.

The stories are heartbreaking.

Dogs were taken, on Council orders, and killed!

Yes you read that correctly.

Taken and KILLED!

Queensland dog owners must be delighted since Peter Beattie's departure from Office as Queensland Premier. Peter's arrogance in an interviews speaks volumes.

Premier, I don’t want to ambush you

No Jeff you can ambush any time

We just had a listener who rang from the Gold Coast actually and Quadriplegic Justin Tailor had his PitBull taken off him with this 22 point system. It was actually am AmStaff but the 22 point system identified it as being a PitBull. He went to court and won and he’s got his dog back after 4 mths of being incarcerated, the listener wanted to know what about the other 68, 69 dogs that have been taken away that might have been falsely identified with this 22 point system.

Well he had a fight with the Gold Coast City Council, which he won. There was an argument about the dog and what, and the quality of the determination by the council as to weather it was a PitBull or not, let me be relay clear about this. We the government don’t support PitBulls, they have damaged to many people, we will obviously keep continuing to review with the local government as to the accreditation system, for the determination of PitBull. I got a dog. I love dogs. I am a dog lover but I think PitBulls frankly I don’t agree with them at all

They say the statistics show that PitBull attacks compared with other breeds of dog is very low, but I suppose they highlight PitBulls in the news.

Well yeah, the point about all that Jeff is that PitBulls are for all sorts of reasons have been determined to be dangerous and you know when they attack let me tall you there is not a lot left. There is a little bit different between getting a nip on the knee and PitBulls don’t leave a lot left. They are very dangerous dogs. The issue he’s got is though, is weather or not it was a PitBull, as I understand it, I haven’t followed this case closely and I just soar it in the news, my understanding it his case, there was an argument as to weather in fact it fitted with the category of the PitBull or not. And I think in the end the determination was made and he was a special case because of his disability and I am pleased he won good luck to him.

Do YOU know what is going on in your locality on the subject of BSL?

Isn't it time you started going to Council meetings and expressed yourself?
