I never said dogs were people. I'm the LAST person that'll say that. I treat my dogs like dogs, they aren't my kids, they aren't my equal, they are my dogs. Anyway. Just calling it how I (and numerous others) see it. Just Google "BSL Racism" and you'll find thousands of sites. Here's a little blurb from one of the largest anti-BSL websites (this isn't just an anti-BSL for Pit Bulls site, btw) for you:
And some definitions for you:
Hmm.. |

Now see, that dog should've been euthanized. I have no issue euthanizing a dog that bites a human, none. If any of my dogs bit my unprovoked (there would have to be some extreme circumstance where I would "accept" a bite), they'd be on the way to the vet in a nanosecond. |

LOL - yes, they sleep around 23 hours a day. They get up in the mornng, potty, go back to sleep when I leave for work. They wake up when I come home from work, potty, give kisses, and go back to sleep. Wake up on occassion to snag some kibble. Oh, the life of a Pug.... |

While I am sorry I seem to have started this fight it is enlightening. If I had left the dog breed off my original post would it be any different. No! I don't care what kind of dog killed the woman. I care that any dog killed someone. Get over it you guys. I am! And I love Wilson! |

LOL. My dogs are similar, surprisingly. They sleep practically all day.. they'll get up and play if I ask them to, or if I take them to the park, but they are by far the laziest Terrier type dogs I have ever met! |

Don't rehash Kady! We don't need to do that. I agree to disagree with you. It is an arguement we cannot win. Keep up your good work with pitts. They need all the help they can get! |

I didn't know Google was the final authority on life. I understand what "breedism" is but frankly putting it on the same level as racism is utterly ridiculous. Do you know what it is like to have people refuse to let their children play with yours, because she is black? To live in a town where its residents vividly remember the days when blacks were not allowed within the town limits unless to work, and these same residents still cling to the belief system that African Americans are somehow a lesser race? How about having strangers come up and ask you if your child was a "crack baby" simply because she is black and adopted? I don't think so! When you do, then you can come back and tell me that Breedism and Racism are even comparable. And anyone who thinks this stuff doesn't happen is delusional. We deal with it on a daily basis. It is so bad in fact that we have considered moving from the suburb we moved into just a year ago. I'm sorry but this discussion was bad enough to start with, but it has clearly taken an utterly ridiculous turn. |

I agree with you 100% FG, I am personally offended by anyone comparing racism in people to "breedism" in dogs. It is IMO what makes the advocates sound like loons. It is certainly not helping the cause, no matter what one might think. I am sorry to say that there really is nowhere for you to go where the things you experience will be gone completely. A friend of mine married an African woman and has two gorgeous mixed race children, they run into issues in Brooklyn, and now in Berkeley, two places you would think would be the best places on earth to have a mixed race family. My husband had a Chinese mother and an English father, and growing up in the Bay Area people still thought she was his nanny. Racism exists everywhere, you cannot escape it. It is especially hard with mixed race families IMO, as the old ideas about "keeping to your own" come out. |

Yeah, K you are absolutely right.... unfortunately it is just a fact of life. We knew that going in, but, you don't ever have the full picture until you are living it. I guess I just find it heartbreaking at times.... but I try to remember we are only 60 or so years out from the Civil Rights Movement, and over the next 60 years things will continue to improve (at least, that is my hope!) I mean hell my husband has had some pretty bizarre/rude/mean things said to him, and he is white... but has a very thick, Northern English accent that people just do not understand. Cultural differences can present a challenge just like racial differences can. It's just that unfortunately our history as a country lends itself to pretty intense racial tension. Not trying to be preachy or soapboxy but frankly comparing Breedism and Racism is like apple and oranges. And Kady the thing is I do understand where you are coming from, but using that kind of stuff to support your argument just dilutes it entirely. Edited by FlashGordon, Aug 18 2011, 09:17 AM.

Oh I wasn't trying to, I was just saying we've kind of gone over all of this before LOL. I won't even comment on the BSL thing, it's clear that I won't get anywhere with anyone, but I will say one more thing on it. BSL doesn't just affect the "bad" owners, BSL affects EVERYONE. My dogs would be killed just as quickly as any other dog if BSL came around and I chose to stay put (which I obviously wouldn't). |
