Rejected petition Unban the american pitbull breed. They are family pets not fighters.
Rejected on
I want to unban the pitbull breed from the uk. The media portrait a bad image of this breed which isnt true.
I believe in banning bad owners not the breed.
As in any dog its how the animal is raised not the breed.
To stop the thugs letting these dogs fight introduce a license to own one.
This is not a bad breed of dog its the oeople who own them that give these dogs a bad name. To stop this from happening have a lisence to have one and spot checks from authorities.
I am a firm believer in my previous statement and that people should be punished and to blame not the breed you only have to look in america to see these are good dogs and family pets not the beast the media want you to think they are.
