Families Against Breed Bans
|
Attention owners of American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers, and all other responsible dog owners opposed to breed bans. The aim of this group is to come together as a united front in our fight against BSL and to dispel stereotypes associated with the breed of dog commonly referred to as the 'pitbull'. Together, we can make it happen! Fact: American Pit bull terriers scored an 84.3% passing rate with the American Temperament Test Society compatible to that of family dogs like the Golden Retriever who scored 84.2%. Fact: The problem with 'pit bull' attacks is an ownership problem that will not go away if we ban 'pit bulls'. Fact: The 'pit bull' does not have a 'locking jaw. There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the American Pit Bull Terrier." RSVP Policy: If you RSVPed Yes, just show up to the event. If you RSVPed No, you do not attend the event without changing your RSVP to Yes. If you RSVPed Maybe, you can change your RSVP. If exact numbers are needed for an event, please give the Organizers at least 24hrs notice.
