Love-A-Bull Needs Homes for Two Sweet, Rescued Pitties!
Love-A-Bull has rescued two amazing pitties that have had really hard lives. You can read their story in the Statesman. Titan and Lady Bug have suffered quite a bit. Titan’s ears were cut with scissors. Both Titan and Lady Bug’s harnesses had grown into their back. Lady Bug has a damaged gait from the experience and cannot hold her head up properly from the chain. Her collar was so tight that she cannot bark completely. Both dogs were covered in oil and fleas and ticks. In spite of that, they are loving and affectionate. Please view their video and donate or contact Lydia at lydia@love-a-bull.org about fostering or adopting today.
Petition Against Breed Discriminatory Legislation
Our petition against breed discriminatory legislation has gathered over 2,500 signatures.
Please help us in our effort to gather signatures to present to Texas legislators! It is very easy to do; just follow the instructions below. Collect signatures from your friends, neighbors, family members, coworkers, club members, veterinarian, local pet organizations, and at pet stores, the dog park, breed club meetings, canine sport events, and anywhere else you can think of!
Texas state law currently prohibits discrimination against individuals based on their dog’s breed or appearance (also known as breed-specific legislation, or BSL). However, recently, Texas has seen an upswing in cries for breed-specific legislation. The last Texas legislative session also saw an attempt to get legislation passed against “pit bull” owners.
Love-A-Bull has started a petition which directs our state lawmakers to:
- Keep intact the current state law that prohibits breed-discriminatory legislation
- Oppose legislation that would discriminate against people based on a dog’s breed or physical appearance
Please help us gather signatures for the petition, which will be presented to Texas state legislators at the start of the 2011 Legislative Session.
