Thanks to Jodi for this alert!
The city of Ecorse, Michigan is interested in public feedback regarding its pit bull ban passed in 2006. This is an excellent opportunity for positive change!
Please take a moment to write to the Ecorse city officials to encourage them to repeal their breed specific ordinance and enact a breed-neutral law that combats irresponsible dog ownership practices – not particular breeds of dogs. Individual e-mail contact information is not available for the city council members, but letters and suggestions can be faxed to the city clerk with a polite request to distribute to the mayor and city council members.

Stop BSL 
you guys are just making a big deal people need to mind their own business… all dogs bite an have teeth… any dog can fight or be vicious!!! LEAVE THE PITBULL ALONE
What a fricken joke! Punish dogs for being born into a world where people have created the problem! How arragant and stupid, anyone thinks its the animals fault. Ive owned 8 pits and can tell you- there is ones that are ghetto raised and ones that are family raised. There is a big difference. Look what people have done to this breed, its sad and cruel, and yetthey pay the price!
