For The Love Of Dogs Write And Make A Difference.... Richland not Ridgeland!

Here is a rant and a vent.... when I heard this news the other day I was so upset! Sorry you are fixing to see a side of Auntie Tracye not many of you know! I am animal crazy so this ban really REALLY made my hackles go up!

Richland Mississippi has made a recent close minded; ill informed decision to ban all breeds considered Pit Bulls ... They say that they are unpredictable and a threat; when in all honesty it is not the dog or breed but the owners who are to blame here. Dogs are like children they are who we raise them to be.... What breed is next the German Shepherd, The Rotty, The Dobbie, or the Poodle (they are actually the most vicious biters out there along with Cocker Spaniels I believe) ... If they set the precident to ban a breed of dog then all breeds are not safe! All I have to say is my heart goes out to families who have to put down or give away a beloved family member due to backward politicans who make stupid and biased decisions supposedly for the good of the community.... Don't tell me what to do in my own home thank you.... And if it was my dog I would like to see you try and take him away! I think this ultimately has to be unconstitutional (unlawful seizure of property) .... there HAS to be a lawsuit here lawyers... please sic em! There are so many many many more important problems in Mississippi than Pit Bulls; why not deal with the real issues instead of hiding behind things like this .... Why not go after the people who hurt these animals by fighting them... abusing them... neglecting them.... why not go after the inresponsible breeders, handlers, etc... Why not do that before you go after the dogs?? If these people will do the things they do to these animals God only knows what they will do to another human! Serial killers start out with animals remember.... The dogs are not the criminals here the people are..... you are persecuting the wrong sinner Mr. Mayor! Do your job and do something that matters and cut out the grandstanding and leave the dogs out of politics! They are so above that!
