New York, New York - Not scheduled for hearing


State law prohibits breed specific legislation


(Thanks to Mahlon for the below information)


1/6/07
Referred to the NYC Council's Committee on Health. To date, the Chair of that committee has declines to schedule the resolution for a hearing.


The NY City Council's Committee on Health is now chaired by Councilmember Joel Rivera of the Bronx. Email addresses for him, and for the other 12 committee members follow. Complete contact information is at


Please write--and if you are a NYC resident, please be sure to point that out--opposing Councilmember Vallone's proposal to roll back New York State's prohibition of breed profiling so that NYC can ban "pit bulls" and other "dangerous dogs."

Oklahoma statewide

Wesselhoft is still trying to get this Bill through Committee. Although no one seconded his Bill to go to vote earlier this week, the same goes for our side - no one seconded Representative Tibb's motion to kill the Bill.


So we still need to write and educate the officials in Oklahoma!

Middletown, Ohio


The Middletown city council will discuss a proposal to DROP their pit bull ban later this month. Please encourage city officials to move forward on this proposal


Malheur County, Oregon


**BSL HAS PASSED and becomes effective in March 2007**


Click
HERE for contact information for Middletown and Malheur County.


Demand Action


Springfield, Missouri passed BSL in April 2006. Mayor Tom Carlson was quoted as saying, "Vicious dogs and vicious pit bulls will not be tolerated in this community. Period."


As we read earlier this week, city councilwoman Sheila Wright's dog has been reported for attacking her neighbor's dog SEVEN TIMES in the last two years.


Surely the behavior of Councilwoman Wright's dog must be considered "vicious" in the eyes of Mayor Carlson, so let's keep him to his word of ZERO tolerance for "vicious dogs" in his community.
Please write to Mayor Carlson and the Springfield city council and demand that Ms. Wright comply with the regulations of the vicious dog ordinance passed in April.
