    I enjoyed this over-the-top video. Communities within the USA which have enacted BSL have also seen no lessening, and more often increase, in dog aggression incidents. Denver Colorado is a good example.

    Brilliant! We here in Ontario, Canada are fighting unjust, unfounded, vague and shoddy breed specific legislation that subverts the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Your video clearly explains the nutcases behind this type of senseless and useless law.

    I can sure see the similarities…
    Dictators who want to eliminate race or breed because of their own misguided beliefs & or utter hatred.

    Over the top, yes, but when idiots abound, what’s one to do? You have to shout louder, longer, and with more passion or your voice will be drowned out. You see it in the US every day now. Crazy people are heard, the majority go unremarked.

    I think this makes people sit up and think about just how cruel and stupid this law is. I wish you would put this stuff on YouTube so it could go viral…everyone should hear this and bloggers won’t blog about it without the video–it’s too hard to describe and loses a lot of power with the change of medium.

    Thanks for your good work!

    1The ANIMAL PEOPLE projection of regional and national shelter killing tolls each year is based on compiling the tolls from every open admission shelter handling significant numbers of animals in specific cities, counties, or states. The sample base each year is proportionately weighted to ensure regional balance. Only data from the three most recent fiscal years is used.

    Page 10 of the article shows a regional breakdown of shelter killing during the 3-year period. A side bar chart titled, “The Effect of Breed-Specific ByLaws on City Pit Bull Terrier Killing Rates” is also included. As seen in the chart, the City of Denver, which bans new pit bulls, also euthanizes the fewest pit bulls. While the national average of pit bulls euthanized per 1,000 human residents is 3.15, the rate in Denver is only .14. Of the city’s total shelter killing, pit bulls accounted for 3%.

    The City of Cincinnati, which also bans new pit bulls, shows a pit bull euthanization rate that is less than half of the national average 1.34. As noted in the article, pit bulls made up a much smaller part of total shelter killing in Cincinnati (10%) than in Milwaukee (18%) or Indianapolis (17%), two cities of similar demographic profile. Lastly, the chart includes San Francisco data pre-BSL (43%) and post-BSL (29%), a 14% drop after the 2006 enactment of a pit bull sterilization law.

    Absolutely brilliant! This is actually very truthful. In essence, this is actually how it happened. How very sad though. Hate is the motivator. Thank you Ryan O.

    Well Done! We in Ontario Canada, have been fighting BSL for four years now.

    Truly, it is a living nightmare. We have a glimmer of hope now in a MPP named Cheri DiNovo who yesterday brought forth a Bill on Nov. 18 2009 to repeal our BSL. We are in for the fight of our lives, and are up to the job, as yourself.

    Thank you for the Video, our “villian ” is a ex. Att. General named Michael Bryant. Who by the way, is currently before our courts on a manslaughter charge. (Gish, it wasn’t the dogs after all that were dangerous).

    We join you in the effort to bring back to the people a gov’t that protrays humanity, and common sense.
