help save 2 pit bulls!

[katt]

so people that are friends with me on facebook will have already gotten my request to join the group and help.

we are trying to gather people to sign a petition to help save 2 pit bull dogs that are going to be euthanized because they barked at a bike rider. the current update is they were going to be put to sleep tomorrow (1/8/10), but the owners appealed the courts decision and they are now awaiting another trial.

here is the facebook page (for anyone that i am not friends with)

I signed. It's over 1000 now. I hope it makes people pay attention!

It's scary that a dog can be ordered to be killed just becauseit frightened someone, to someone who doesn't know dogs any excited large dog could be wrongly perceived as treatening, and of course, we all know if they were Labradors there would likely have been no seriousaction taken! :grumpy:

our goal is to hit 2000 by the 15th of jan. that is their retrial date.

it is scary that they want to put down 2 dogs for barking. i hate the thought of it.

keep up the good work everyone! and thank you sooo much!

I signed as well. Hopefully some local animal rights group will make a huge fuss.

My family has three very large dogs. None of them are pitbulls, but they are all mixed and could be considered "bully breeds". These sweet creatures do bark sometimes, and are often worked up by bicyclists. I think the worst offenders are actually those small neurotic yappy dogs. You dont see anyone trying to put them down...its just so wrong.

About 5 years ago we had a Pomeranian and it bit my sister and she went to the hospital so animal control had to come(even though it was my sisters fault not the dogs lol) and took pictures and we had to keep him on our property for 30 days.

I don't think the dogs should be put to sleep but the owners should be severely fined for their dogs being loose. People who don't care for their dogs properly give the good ones the bad rap. My friends have the most sweetest deaf pit. He understands sign language
