Erie County is a community of dog lovers. We, the citizens, are respectfully asking for the chance to prove that we are responsible pet owners. We want the right to choose any breed. We also ask that the city use other methods to determine a dog\'s aggression or viciousness. These methods may include, but not limited to: Having proper training for our pets; getting them spayed or neutered; also keeping their rabies and temperament shots up to date, and proper confinement. We believe our 4th, 5th, 8th, and 14th amendment constitutional rights are being violated. Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) criminalizes U.S. citizens. It is cruel and unjust punishment. We are asking the city of Sandusky to repeal this ordinance The American Temperament Test Society has available results of dogs tested by them. As of December 2000, the following results were found: (Number of dogs tested) [Percent of dogs passed] American Pit Bull Terrier (327) [82.3%] American Staffordshire Terrier (397) [81.6%] Golden Retriever (576) [81.9%] Labrador Retriever (561) [90.4%] Shetland Sheepdog (411) [66.9%] Collie (666) [78.2%] This can be verified with the A.T.T.S. by calling them at (314)869-6103 or on the web at www.atts.org. PUNISH THE DEED~NOT THE BREED!
