Here is a short 6 question survey on Dog Ownership that is intended to help stop Breed Specific Legistlation and stop the categorization of dogs by weight. If you own a dog, please complete the survey and pass it along to other dog owners you know. Thanks!

Yvonne, sadly those dogowners at the Furry Scurry were risking their pet’s lives. Any dog that looks like it might be something the cretins at AC would call a “pit bull” is subject to immediate confiscation. If the owner lives in Denver, the only way to save their dog is to move. Otherwise, it will be killed.

Thank you, Rod and Yvonne. I’m so proud to know so many bloggers dedicated to animal welfare. I’m brushing up my post and all the little details for tomorrow. I can’t wait to collaborate with everyone on this. This will be big!

I am very interested in this topic and in understanding how it relates to Denver. We moved here recently and participated in Furry Scurry for the Dumb Friends League. More than 5000 dogs and dog owners had a parade through Washington Park in Denver, and there were many, many pit bulls (let’s call them terriers, cause that’s what they are). ALL the dogs, terriers, Great Danes, little dogs, big dogs, whatever, were wonderful and delightful.

I’m all for working together to be the change… I’m totally all for not punishing any dog for its owner’s bad behavior. This information will go far – education is so important. And, raising voices for change. More voices = more ears. I hope the whole world is listening.

This is a great public service announcement. Looking forward to Part 2 … and hearing what BlogPaws West may organize to raise awareness for the pitties in Denver.

Kim, THANK YOU for sharing my links on Facebook! I’m going to get Part 2 up tomorrow. I’m really hoping this can become a collaborative effort – 300 pet bloggers can be a loud, powerful voice! I’m so excited we’re having this open conversation, and I believe we can all be the change.

Thank you so much for sharing about BSL. Never a fan from the get-go, admittedly, I was only somewhat aware of the legal expectations and failures.

I’ve been placing your posts on our facebook page (http://facebook.com/thisonewildlife) to educate others through you and will link to part 2 when it’s live.

It would be terrific to see you at BlogPaws and I’ll be watching for ways I can participate in raising BSL awareness through this trip.

Beautifully written, with the exact amount of information needed to make your point, as well as the appropriate amount of personal attachment to the subject required to hammer your point home. Great job, sis. You know you have the full support of the East Coast branch when it comes to E & L, and maybe even you and your husband. Always and forever.
