Stop BSL (Breed Specific Legislation)

This is not the face of a killer.

As many of you reading this may already know, we here at MSGCartel.com are fans of bully breeds. I don't need to tell you they are rad dogs: energetic, sociable, and very affectionate. It's no news Bullies got a bad rap. It's a bum rap, though (pause).

This is something for all you friends of bullies and animals in general.

Right now, in front of the agricultural committee, is FL SB 1276. It's a senate bill which would give municipalities the green light to enact BSL(Breed Specific Legislation). It's just plain BS!

Below are various links to the major players involved. The links are from a site devoted to stopping BSL nationwide (stopbsl.com). If you're a bully lover from anywhere in the US that could be affected by this form of discriminatory legislation, this is a good place to get informed. Let 'em know we love our bullies.
