NOT GUILTY!
A vigil against Breed Specific Legislation

Join DDA Watch, Maria Daines and others on July 24th, 2010.

Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) is a draconian law enforced in current society.
 
Unbelievably, it is implemented in specific cities, states, counties, municipalities and countries around the world.
 
The law allows for discrimination against dog breeds deemed “dangerous”. It leads to euthanasia of family pets, astronomical insurance rates (for those not forced to give up their canine companions) and the murder of thousands of animals in shelters—regardless of their temperament. The genocide includes mother dogs and their innocent puppies who will never have a chance to see the light of day. BSL is very BAD NEWS.

As stated by The Animal Legal and Historical Center:

  1. Dog control problems are people problems, and are not limited to a breed or mix.
  2. Banning a breed or declaring it inherently vicious punishes those responsible dog owners who are the type of citizens that communities need to keep, not drive away.
  3. Communities that have instituted such bans often find that the irresponsible owners and the criminals who use dogs for illegal purposes simply switch to another breed.
  4. Banning a breed or particular mix of breeds punishes those dogs that are reliable community citizens—therapy dogs, assistance dogs for handicapped owners, search and rescue dogs, drug-sniffing dogs, police dogs, etc.—and drives them out of the community.
  5. Breeds and mixes are often difficult to identify.
  6. The "pit bull" is a type of dog bred for fighting, not a specific breed.
  7. Passage of laws that are only enforced on complaint cause two problems:  they create disrespect for the law if the authorities require compliance only upon complaint, and they provide ammunition for neighborhood feuds.

From Denver Kills Dogs:

"Snow was a lost three year old, deaf, pure white
female pit bull, caged at the Denver Municipal
Shelter. Her family was desperately looking for
Snow and soon after made the tragic discovery
that she had been picked up and destroyed by
animal control. More than 1800 pit bulls (like
Snow) and pit bull mixes have been executed
from 2005 to 2008. Hundreds more have been
taken to shelters outside of Denver, in hopes they
will not be euthanized. These shelters are
burdened and overcrowded by Denver's
irresponsible breed ban."

The list of dogs deemed “dangerous” is forever growing. DO NOT for one moment believe that your dog is safe because he or she is not a pit bull.

For the sake of the dog, for the sake of justice; we must band together to end this holocaust.

Please join phenomenal British singer Maria Daines, multi-talented Charlotte Dutton, the Anti B.S.L group DDA Watch and many other pioneers as they gather on July 24, 2010 at 4pm GMT in Richmond Terrace, London to present Not Guilty! a vigil against this abomination.

It is with great hope that Not Guilty! will send a strong message to the British Government along with other legislatures worldwide who support BSL to demonstrate its flaws and demand its abolition.

HERE IN THE UNITED STATES WE CAN SHOW OUR SUPPORT BY LIGHTING A CANDLE ON JULY 24 FOR THE MANY WHO HAVE DIED NEEDLESSLY AND FOR THOSE SITING IN CELLS (RIPPED FROM THE LOVING ARMS OF THEIR FAMILIES) WAITING FOR THEIR DEATH. THEIR “CRIME” —THEIR APPEARANCE. ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE CALL YOUR LOCAL LEGISLATORS TO VOICE YOUR OPINION ABOUT BSL.
 
Please DO NOT turn away, don’t be fooled because… next time it might be your dog who is "lucky enough" to make it on to this "esteemed" list.
