Springfield, Missouri votes down ban on acquiring new pit bulls

First-ever election win for pit bull advocates

SPRINGFIELD, Missouri––Out-spending voices for animal and human safety by a margin perhaps as high as $10,000 to $1.00, pit bull advocates on August 7, 2018 celebrated their first-ever defeat of a pit bull ban in a municipal general election.

Reversing the outcome of earlier attempts to repeal pit bull bans in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and Aurora, Colorado, pit bull advocates in Springfield, Missouri polled at least 21,142 votes, or 68% of the votes cast, against 9,772 votes (32%) for the ban.

Older breed-specific ordinance remains in effect

Opened Question 1 on the Springfield primary election balloti:

“Shall the City of Springfield establish a future ban upon the possession of new pit bull dogs within the City limits by prohibiting acceptance of any new pit bull registrations and only allowing renewals of existing current pit bull dog registrations?”

Though the proposed ban on new pit bull registrations was rejected, the election result does not mean the end of breed-specific legislation in Springfield.

Still in effect is a pit bull registration ordinance enacted in 2006, which requires the owners of pit bulls and pit bull mixes to have them microchipped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and identified with a registration tag which must be worn at all times.

The language of the proposed Springfield pit bull ban, meant to strengthen the 2006 ordinance, was approved 5-4 by the city council in November 2017.

You should be exterminated for sure. The world would be a far better place.

While I’m fine with prohibiting exotic and wild animals in a city-all those pythons certainly weren’t exactly beneficial to the ecological balance in Florida-I do have a problem with banning any breed of plain vanilla domestic pet-bird, cat, dog rabbit whatever-that is just a door to banning any person or thing enough people don’t like-I’ll bet real money that sooner or later, after they’ve banned every dog on the stupid “bad dog” list, they will be banning pets above a certain weight-everyone must have a Yorkie, Chihuahua, Rat Terrier-and no more Maine Coon or Persian “type” cats or Belgian Hare-type rabbits-too big! They might scratch or bite! What is next-ban Macaws and other large parrots? They can damn near bite off a finger-or nose...

I’ve only had one dog that was not on the “bad dog” list-an Aussie Shepherd, that was over 25 years ago. Never had a problem with either of my German Shepherds, my Chow or my Siberian Husky-all are supposedly bad dogs-mine were protective guard dogs and also very well behaved and trained...

I think all Freepers can unite in our abhorrence of dogfighting although I fail to see its relevance to the topic of this thread.

I'll explain it. Norski is a dog eating Jihadist on the war path to exterminate all Pit Bulls so she posts these Pittie Party threads on a daily basis to let people know what a loathsome POS she really is.

She is afraid of dogs, the bully breeds in particular, so she has to project her hate everywhere on the Internet that will allow her to. Why she hasn't been banned is a mystery. Maybe she pays money to be left alone to spread her hate into every corner she can. Norski has zero redeeming qualities. Not one single one. She will use every trick in the book including fake religion to gain followers for her Jihad.

She is essentially the Anti-Freeper. You won't see her posting in any other threads; just these dog-hating ones. She is a leftist for sure and just uses FR to push her Jihad.

I stand by my original statement based on 40 years of dealing with the breed. I have been bitten twice in my life - both times the biters were German Shepherds.
Don't like my opinion? Tough noogies, pal.

Springfield Missouri eh? Must be a classy place. Note to self: If I have to travel through there carry my tactical shotgun.

I’m thinking all Pittie Haters should be dissolved in a vat of acid - slowly.

Well... it makes as much sense as your comment.

Why not have “Pittie Haters” be slowly chewed to death by those darling sweet animals you people love so much?

I’m sure you would get great satisfaction over that. Despite the huge irony that would result in.

some dog that’s even meaner
Presa Canarios and Doggo Argentinos can be dangerous unless you are a family member - and they're larger than pit bulls.

Yours is merely ancedotal, too.

You cannot claim your ownership of non-abused dogs is representative of pits as a whole.

It is impressive how fast and far the level of discourse descends on dog threads if Pittys are involved.

Seriously, it’s nastiness and pettiness worthy of the DU.

It’s good for a little trolling, but not for anything else. A little embarrassing to watch.

You seem to be under a misconception that
reputable owners of ‘pit bulls’ acquire their dogs from breeders that specifically breed to deliver attack, mauling, and death (as an activity illegal in all 50 states).

With all due respect, that’s a ridiculous notion.

Believe it or not, there are actually a plethora of breeders that breed to enhance the good qualities of ‘pit bulls’,
Stability, Temperament, Confirmation and in turn sell them only to responsible owners that have done their due diligence
and are prepared to care for the dogs as Free Individuals cognizant of the Responsibilities that Ownership entails.

Sometimes if one is looking for ‘black’ that is what one will find.
but sometimes...
if you turn the paper over and give the other side an honest look, you may see ‘white’.

You are becoming more and more unhinged over people merely having a different opinion than you.

You are in serious need of help.

Your reading and comprehension skill is woefully inadequate for this forum.

Missouri likes pit bulls and unions.

Such a image of pit owners you are showing there.

You are building the best case I have ever seen against the dogs and their owners.

I've noticed the strong correlation between pit owners attitudes and the dogs.

Nope. That would reinforce your sad misguided belief that Pit's and the rest of the Bully Breeds are the problem. They are not. The problem is how people treat and raise their dogs; all dogs. They must be socialized and learn discipline. Perhaps you could benefit from the same thing.
