My friend, Liz, asked me to help spread the word about this sad story involving her close friend's dog, Bentley. Bentley escaped his owner's backyard once & animal control took hold of him & now wants to put him to death because he is a pitbull that "poses a threat to the community". As an animal owner myself, I can say that my pups have escaped my backyard once or twice, but luckily don't wander far from my house. It happens to the best of us & it doesn't mean we don't love our animals. Animal control is assuming that just because this dog is a pitbull, he is dangerous, but those who know & love him (including my friend) say that he is harmless. It is ridiculous that the authorities think this dog, that has never hurt a soul, should be killed.
I signed.. I hope lots of other people do too!
ReplyDeleteIt would be different if he escaped and attacked somebody or something! But if he just escaped and minded his own business while he was out and about how does that pose a threat? I signed.
