    There are so many LOVING and FRIENDLY pitbull terriers. Do you really think it is fair to limit good owners and good dogs because of a few STUPID owners that allow their dogs to be aggressive. Pitbulls are not even good protection dogs because their nature is to LOVE people!!!!! I cannot imagine a world without our pitbulls and God only know I hope I never have to go through anything like that. Our dogs are part of our family. Lock up the stupid people that don’t raise their dogs right!!!!!!

    I live 20 miles from Dawson, Ga. This whole thing has sickened me. Here is a link to our local tv station that has been running the stories. http://www.walb.com We are having a real problem with the BSL legislation in GA. Any help we can get with it, will be greatly appreciated! Here is also a link for the city’s website dawson.georgia.gov

    There will be another meeting on Wed at 8:30am – PLEASE plan to attend and be willing to speak calmly to the panel. I am driving 3 hours away from Lawrenceville with a fellow advocate. Surely we can get enough locals to attend an 8:30am meeting!!! PS I am working on putting together a group that will organize to attend all such meetings, follow up, contact the media, and share details with local partners. If you are interested, contact me on FB Johanna Falber-Mcvay. Thanks so much!!!!!
