We have been asked several times by other members to cease this discussion. So taking it off list would be better Thanks Sheila From: Pam Dean Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2012 8:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] pit bulls Yes Maam..and making darn good progress not just here in Florida. One area we have branched out in as it seemed to go hand in hand with pit and other aggressive breed attacks was the prevalent home insurance fraud by aggressive breed owners. I myself had to pursue damages in small claims court in three separate cases I was involved in because the owners failed to inform their insurance companies that they owned pits. No surprise there as few insurance companies will have anything to do with insuring this breed. So the owners just lie, then when their dog attacks or kills, they are not insured for it. A very mature, responsible attitude. So we as part of our campaign, compile lists of known pit owners and send them to insurance companies to update their records. Amazing how much fraud is going on in many states.

The state has recently repealed that law and replaced it with a generic (non breed specific) vicious dog law....however there are people like Pam who are trying to have it reinstated. Disgusting. As far as I am aware, Denver, CO is the only city on the country who is allowed, by law, to TAKE YOUR DOG AND KILL IT if it is *suspected* of being a "pit bull" .....someone on here got offended when I mentioned Hitler and the holocaust. .and while I would never equate a dog's life to a human's, when you start banning, legislating, and/or killing something based simply on it's heritage you are indeed falling down a very slippery slope.....

It is sad that bad people make it that they ‘brand’ all of the type of dogs to be mean. I know that not all of any breed are not mean…just like I know that not all people that are mean are bred to be that way. Blaming a heredity gene for a dog to attack surely would not make it for a mean person to never have any children, or let those children do jobs such as nurse, doctor, etc. -- Carey
