Talking points needed to keep my county from banning GSDs! - Page 1

 Needs some help folks,

MY county leaders are now proposing a ban on Pittbulls, Rottwilers, Dobermans, and our beloved GSDs.

They are going to have open meetings and debates coming up and I want to appiear and voice my objections to GSDs being even thought of for this breed ban.  They say its because Insurance companies say those breeds are the most dangrouse in the United States and thats why they are thinking about introducing this legousation..

So this is where I need your help, an elegant speaker I am not.  I do not want to come accross as an uneducated hick. So if anyone has any speaches or talking points from other hearings or town meetings where GSD where being talked about please send them to me. I am going to comprise a nice speach or presantaion to the county leaders to object to the GSD being banned from my county.

Thanks for any help!

fIND A SCHUTZHUND CLUB IN YOUR TOWN OR NEIGHBORING AND HAVE THEIR PRES OR TRAINER HELP YOU OR ASK HIM OR HER TO SEND A REP..TO TALK FOR YOU......

what country?

what county?

Someone on this board awhile back had stats showing labs had more bites than GSD. Also if you find the dangerous breed list , the Dalmation is on it along with the chow and a few others, No one wants to ban the 101 Dalmation, but they are on the list. I think 1/2 the dog population is on it. stats on small dog bites.

Contact pet therpy asscoations and ask any GSD owners to attend the meeting, even if out of your county, they could be next.. any service GSD's have them attend with dog.

Give them and alternative to ban, must train the dogs and receive good canine

Where are you by the way?

This makes me sick.......................................You need to ban your council members, contact AKC, They may have help with this.Make noise in the news, dalmation on dangerous breed list, Get help from other dog owners, pet stores, Dog food companies they  have PR deparments, Vets.  Pet stores

Start a recall on the members for wanting to ban our dogs. i would have every GSD and owner in front of every Dam one of thier houses at night. working the dogs in OB on thier streets in front of thier homes. Throw a few rotties in there to would ya? that would surely bring this to the attention of the news, call them and tell them where you are.

If you think a non dog lover is going to listen to a pretty speach, and not later back door this, you better think again, I would make sure they understood the PET VOTES, RIGHT TO OWN.

put on a demo in large mall parking area/park, do agility, ob, show the public what a good gsd is. call the press, put flyersout. put on a dog fair invite public.

i would be finding out what restraunts they eat at and finding gsd service dogs to go eat there with thier dogs. I am telling you they would not be going  pee without a gsd there.

Aye! some BSL info and links

If the counties insurance carrier is involved , you need a lawyer to speak on your behalf and I would advertise for others in your county who are going to be effected to join you and help with expense's.

A great speech is not going to do you any good.   I am doing battle with my county comissioners over a road and I have found the only thing that they worry about is a law suit.

Good luck my friend.

COULD NOT FIND THE DALMATION ON THE LIST, MUST HAVE DROPED IT OFF.
