STOP FUELING BSL, BULL BREED OWNERS!
Here is an example of how a Boxer mix can become the victim of BSL. This dog is in no way, shape, or form an American Pit Bull Terrier. Remember guys, APBT is the only breed that is not only called, but recognized as a Pit Bull. Bull breed mixes/mutts, mixed breeds/mutts, Terrier mixes/mutts etc. should never be called a Pit Bull. THIS SHOULD BE A WAKE UP CALL TO EVERYBODY WHO INSISTS ON USING PIT BULL AS A BLANKET TERM. Because this dog has a couple of characteristics of what the government thinks a Pit Bull is, he may very well lose his life TONIGHT!
This is why it is important to educate yourselves so you can educate others. No medium to large size dog or puppy is safe from being discriminated against. This was taken from a group called "Guess the Dog Breed". The owner's friend was trying to find a way to prove the dog is not a Pit Bull. She was not asking what the breed of dog it is because it is unknown, she was looking for proof to help her friend get her dog back.
Hopefully I can make an update at a later date and happily report the puppy is safe at home where he belongs.
Just a reminder, this can very well happen to your dog or puppy. Just because your dog ISN'T a Pit Bull doesn't mean it doesn't share characteristics. A dog only needs to share a few characteristics with that of a Pit Bull to be a victim of BSL. We cannot stop this from happening until we educate ourselves first. Without the knowledge, we will always be sheep. If more people were willing to learn about the breed they may or may not own, we could help all families from having their beloved pet put to sleep.
