To: Governor Ron DeSantis
Please allow pit bulls in Miami-Dade County, FL!
This ban on pit bulls in Miami-Dade is detrimental to their survival rates in animal shelters. Statistically, bully breeds are the most often euthanized dog in America and because they are banned in Miami-Dade County, most of them are confiscated and then sent to the Miami-Dade County Animal Services. By lifting this ban, you can give them a chance to remain with their responsible, loving owners and prevent an unnecessary death because of the large number of pit bulls in shelters.
Why is this important?
Pit bulls can be loving animals and there is no need to stereotype all of these animals because of horrible owners. These animals need our help and I would love to see more of them in loving homes and less of them at the Miami-Dade County Animal Services dying by euthanasia.
