The Animal Control Board finally backed down and scrapped their disgusting plan to kill these dogs. Cumberland County officials learned today that we will not tolerate their cruel policies. Keep your eyes sharp because we are watching to make sure this barbaric idea never surfaces again.

Allow all dog breeds to be adopted from Cumberland, NC, abolish ban proposal
Final supporters
I found this on the www.STOPBSL.com website dated Nov 30, 2011:
"The Cumberland County, NC, Animal Control Board is considering a plan to kill stray ”pit bulls,” Rottweilers, Chows, and Presa Canarios, and mixes of these, rather than find these dogs loving new homes. The bizarre logic behind this move seems to be: “No one responsible adopts these breeds anyway, so why even bother to try?”
This is outrageous and extreme. These animals deserve a chance and this proposal needs to be abolished by the people of Cumberland County, NC.
This proposal is in very early stages, and the public has an opportunity to provide genuinely humane, sensible solutions to the county’s animal control problems. The Animal Control Board will meet again on December 5 at 6:00 PM to discuss the issue, at the Animal Services Department, 4704 Corporation Drive, Fayetteville, NC.
Please be respectful and helpful in your correspondence with officials.
Cumberland County Animal Services Department, Dr. John Lauby, Director, Phone: (910) 321-6851, [email protected]
If the Animal Control Board approves this proposal, it moves to the Policy Committee, and then to the full Board of Commissioners. We will post that contact information if and when the proposal moves ahead. For the moment, please try to work with the Animal Control Board to find reasonable solutions that don’t involve killing dogs just because they look a certain way."
Help these animals by voicing your opposition of this proposal to the Cumberland County Animal Services Dept and by signing this petition.

The momentum behind this fight is proof that Cumberland County residents refuse to accept this bloodthirsty proposal. The Animal Control Board clearly underestimated the public outrage over their plan to kill innocent dogs.

I really hope this doesnt pass. Breaks my heart to think of all those innocent dogs dying when they could be family pets.
STOP THE KILLING. these poor dogs didnt do anything wrong. i hope they listen to reason.
Breed specific laws dont work. Total waste of taxpayer money.
What a bunch of idiots running the county. Find them homes instead of playing god with their lives
This is just evil. My pit bull is the sweetest dog I have ever owned and she sleeps with my kids every night. Shame on them for even thinking of this

Ridiculous. Judge the owner not the breed. My rottie is a big teddy bear.
