Senator Speiers introduced
SB861 today
that would amend CA's law against BSL.
While it still prevents an all out ban, it's
still BSL!! Cities would have the
ability to ban pit bulls without banning
them by passing different regulations
against pit bulls including but not limited
to insurance requirements.
We also need to watch the State Assembly
as Assemblyman Leno will certainly introduce
a companion bill shortly.
We can not allow
this to happen!! Senator Speiers
bill
MUST be shut down ASAP!!! We need to
send a message loud an clear enough is
enough! This incident should
NEVER have happened and the mother has
admitted to an unbelievable amount of
irresponsibility so why should innocent dogs
be targeted? I Senator Speiers also introducing a bill to regulate
parenting based on the same incident?
Non CA residents: We need to start
emailing and mailing letters. Please
remember to be calm, cool and collected when
writing to legislators. Write a letter
you would read if it was being sent to you.
California Residents: Please start
calling your Senators and Representatives
and ask meet with them! Get your
friends, family and neighbors to call and
voice their opinions asking them NOT to
support any amendment allowing for any type
of regulations by breed. Get the
letters and statistics in the mail!
Please
check out the fight BSL section for flyers
on BSL and Pit bulls that you can start
plastering all over the pet stores, vet's
groomers, etc in an effort to start
educating people!
