Being an owner of a "pit bull" I have dealt with the discriminating looks and comments by uneducated and prejudice people. Innocent dogs are being torn from their owners and either put on death-row, senselessly killed, or being shipped far away with the promise from owners they won't return to the area. Not only are Pit Bulls themselves being shipped away and killed, but dogs that LOOK like Pit Bulls. Please help to have the city of Ellinwood stop this ban now, before it is too late. Too many broken hearts have already occurred over this, owners crying over the death of their beloved companions, and dogs never seeing the owners they have come to adore again; all over their breed. Not all Pit Bulls are "trained to be angry and mean", as you will have read in the news article. It's all a matter of how they were trained. Please open your hearts, and sign this petition. After all, if your dogs' breed was suddenly banned, or in danger of being killed off, wouldn't you want to do something to stop it??
