Agreed.

I disagree with you here. It has been proven time and again that, by burying our heads in the sand, the laws against the breed have only gotten worse.

The truth is, only by dogmen getting together and showing up to fight bad laws, have laws been overturned. There might be more overall citizens than dogmen, but 99% of citizens aren't going to join forces against dogs. Most don't care. When people go and speak on behalf of the dogs, more often than not the laws go our way. It is when no one speaks up that stupid laws get enacted.

When they do have to have a light shine on them try to make it a positive light. Support your local clubs, get involved in fighting BSL, contribute to the organizations that help fight against the BSL, and clean up home first and foremost.
Agreed.
