The city council officially repealed the breed specific legislation today. This win belongs to every one of the 505 people who demanded fair treatment for all dogs in Mansfield. Keep watch during the transition period to ensure these new rules are applied fairly.

Please sign this petition if you live in Mansfield, Ohio and wish to have the ban against pit bulls removed. We are not asking to remove a ban against vicious dogs, but the line item that discriminates against pit bulls strictly by the nature of their breed and not by behavior.

I own two pitbulls. They are both raised with love and and so loving anyone with animals will tell you it's no different than having any other dog. They protect our home and me and my kids, along with three other kids that are always here, I also own a Rottweiler and he is no different than my other two
ANYONE who has ever owned a Pit knows they are the most loving animals you could ever have. Did Petey eat the Little Rascals? No. Don't discriminate the breed because of bad owners, punish the bad owners and not the animals.
Owner responsibility based legislation and enforcement are proven to be far more effective in ensuring public safety than BSL. If public safety is the concern, communities should be moving in that direction.
I have been around pitbulls all my life never once have I had one that is vicious it all in how you raise them my dogs have always been shown love and affection there were a few that my kids would actually ride like horses and never got aggressive towards them in any way.. Pitts are very stereotyped.. I love my pitts
There should absolutely be a vicious dog registry, however, to connect an entire breed to viciousness because of many people not knowing how to be responsible pet owners is crazy. There also needs to be a registry for abusive and irresponsible pet owners.
I've had a male pit for 10years best loyal loving dog ever.
It is not the breed, it is how they are raised....

After having been around pit bulls, being a volunteer at the Humane Society, they are one of the most forgiving, lovable and loyal dog that I have been around. There is no way there should be a ban on these beautiful creatures.
