EVERY voice, every signature, every person counts in the fight to end breed discrimination, dog fighting, neglect and abuse of our precious American Pit Bull Terriers. They have no voice of their own to speak up for their rights or to beg for their own lives. It's up to US to voice it for them!
Sign the petition on Change.org to Governor Jay Nixon to end BSL in Missouri! This is just the beginning...we are working to end BSL nation wide! Sign HERE!
Things you can do to help:
- Educate yourself, then educate others.
- Donate to Pit Bull Rescue groups and/or shelters! Money, time, supplies, toys, food....all are of great importance and are incredibly valuable to these organizations.
- Hold a fund-raiser and use the proceeds to donate to the afore mentioned groups/shelters.
- Be a Pit Bull Foster! Shelters and rescue groups are generally overwhelmed and every foster home saves at LEAST two lives: the one that is fostered, which in turn opens a spot for the one who fills his place at the shelter.
- Start a petition of your own to benefit an area of Pit Bull welfare.
- Join in on Pit Bull related activities...even if you DON'T have a Pit Bull of your own.

If you believe that the BSL in your area won't ever become this extreme, please understand it only takes one person in city or state leadership to go from simply banning a breed to ordering it's annihilation. What happens next to these innocent dogs across our nation is entirely up to YOU.
