Ecorse Michigan currently has BSL against the ownership of American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire dog breeds.
*What is BSL?
Breed specific legislation(BSL) is designed to place restrictions on ownership of certain breeds of dogs.
A breed ban usually requires that all dogs of a certain appearance (targeted breed) be removed from the county, city, state, or Province.
*Why doesn't BSL work?
Breed Specific Legislation is the campaign to ban dog owners from owning a certain breed of dog deemed dangerous. And it doesn't work. By making these dogs illegal you make them more desirable to criminals and people who want to own the breed for the wrong reasons. This leads to terrible breeding practices which can lead to temperament and health problems and in turn only support the stereotypical version of the breed.
More often than not, Breed Specific Legislation does not stop a resident from owning a banned breed; instead they just avoid registering and licensing their dog(s). This is a potentially dangerous situation, as unlicensed dogs are often unvaccinated dogs with the potential to contract and spread dangerous diseases such as rabies.
*What are alternatives to BSL?
1. Offer free/low cost spay/neuter programs
2. Require spay/neuter for all animals within the city
3. Outlaw breeding of animals within the city limits
4. Enact anti-tethering laws
It has been proven that BSL does not effectively control unwanted encounters between dogs and humans. Responsible pet ownership is the only proven method.
By signing this petition, you are asking the city of Ecorse Michigan to end BSL in their city in favor of the listed alternatives.
Please email the following Ecorse city officials to tell them why specific breed banning doesn't work, and to let them know there are much better, more effective options

If u ban pits u have to ban chiwawas too. I have worked with many pits and few chiwawas....guess who has bit me more... As the owner of a certified therapy PIT BULL...BSL has to go!!!! It's simply not true. It's like banning all black ppl because what a few did, or banning all Germans because of hitler. Dosnt make sence.
This is ABSURD. these dogs are the most compassionate, devoted and loving breed. A shame that the abusive owners that fight them or raise them poorly have ruined it for all he fabulous other pit bulls out there that need placement into loving homes.
Its not the breed it the owners problem that train the aggressiveness in the dogs! I did not know that Ecorse had banned the pitt bulls. My neighbor called and complained about my dog because she does not like me! The only conversation we had was her telling me that she has done petty things like throwing trash in my yard, put dog feses on my trash can because she sees me allowing my dog use her lawn for a bathroom! (Which is untrue my husband seen another neighbors dog go on there). Instead of banning the breed. Get rid of the people that live there and train the dogs that way. MY DOG IS 9 MONTHS OLD AND GOT OUT OF THE YARD ONE DAY. 2 POLICE OFFICERS BROUGHT HIM HOME AND SAID HE IS THE SWEETEST PUPPY!!!! NEVER SAID THAT THEY WERE BANNED FROM THE CITY!!!
It's the owners, not the breed that is a problem. We are responsible owners, looking to buy a home and have to overlook your city due to your pitbull ban, and that's sad because it looks like Ecorse desperately needs the revenue!
Please do not ban a breed of dog. It absurd. It is proven that the abusive pet owner can turn any breed into an abused, agressive pet. The ban should be on those specific people from having pets. The kitchen knife is not banned because so many crimes are committed with knives, instead they prosecute the criminal who wielded the knife. The gun doesn't load itself and shoot you, it must be handled by a fool to hurt someone. Please don't blame the animal because of bad people.
F*** breed discrimination. I’m denied housing and my dogs are denied a LIFE
They put my dog down when he wasnt even mean

Once you have removed this discrimination based on false data from your books consider increased follow up and penalties for the animal abusers who have created this lie.
