We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to reverse it\'s decision on banning pit bulls. Whereby, we believe this ban is wrong and unfair because not all pit bulls attack people. There are many pit bulls that are very friendly. It is not fair to persecute the whole breed for the actions of certain individuals within it. Also, it is the owner who is responsible for aggression in pit bulls and other dogs, not the dog. Banning pit bulls is not a real solution to any problem. Therefore, we petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to reverse the province wide ban on pit bulls. This petition is to be handed in to Mr. Pat Hoy, Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for the province of Ontario.

If a family in the US has any reason to cross the border regularly, this ban prevents them from adopting a pit bull as well. The reach is much too broad, and a better law can easily be made.

This is a ridiculous ban. You cannot generalize about a breed. The owners are usually the problem. Punish them instead.

Ban stupid people. I've adopted Pit Bulls since 1995 and will always have them in my life. They are loving, loyal, playful and make the best family members.

All dogs deserve the right to live peacefully. Animals shouldn't be blamed for the actions of despicable people. No dog is born vicious. Pit bulls, in the right hands, have the capacity and inclination to improve the lives of many.

Blame the deed NOT the breed. Labs /retrievers actually have higher attack/aggressive rates then pitbulls. Its always the owners job to train their pet if they do a bad job or are ignorant then yas. Any dogs will bite. Dobermens rotwiliers were all banned. But guess what they make the greatest dogs. Huge teddy bears and the cutest smiles . Let me have a pitty

It's not the breed you should fear, but the neglectful owners who make the breed dangerous. Love my pitbull Lexi!!
