A friend told me that Pennsylvania has a no BSL law, but I guess Philadelphia is/was trying to get an exception? This was what I was thinking anyway.

hi sarasmom.....
pennsylvania now has legislation that restricts BSL. philadelphia is waiting for PA to have a hearing regarding that issue...this is all i know about BSL in regard to state law (from what ms. williams told me on wednesday). doesn't matter though...city hall needs to know that there are many of us who strongly oppose this type of legislation for many reasons in addition to protecting our beloved breed(s).

When given sensible non breed specific alternatives, and information, many will listen.

i am REALLY keeping my fingers crossed that council members listen long and hard...toes and eyes too:) !!!! there are many underlying issues that helped to stimulate this proposed legislation, but in the long run, none of them could ever be resolved by placing restrictions on one or two breeds.
thank you for your encouragement:D :) :D :) :D :) :D :)

I don't have access to the Chicago ordinance, but I will do some research. Were you able to get the Dog World? I can't find one near me. Maybe there is a link or contact person in the article. Also. the ASPCA was involved on the committee in Chicago as well as the HSUS, so maybe they have a copy of it?

hi beth........
i went to dogworld or dogwatch.com...i thought you were referring to a website
i think i was referred to this site by someone here...it listed all towns and cities involved in BSL...it was a great site and i really need to find it again so i can check for that ordinance and to look for other material. do you have a contact name for ASPCA in chicago? i will try to call there tomorrow...great suggestion to ask them for a copy:D. i'll work on it and get back to you with what i find...thank you sooo much for your help!!!
