Animal Advocates Radio ”Voices Carry for Animals #267”- MCABSL- REPEAL BSL!

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer
Guests will be:  Dahlia Canes- Director and Founder for the Miami Coalition Against Breed Specific Legislation & Lauren "NIKKI" Turner MCABSL General Counsel

http://mcabsl.com/
TOPIC: Miami Pit Bull Ban was enacted in 1989- Breed Specific Legislation  (BSL)  REPEAL BSL! Justice for Pit Bulls! 
The Miami Coalition Against Breed Specific Legislation (MCABSL) is a non-profit organization in the State of Florida. Its mission is to eradicate Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) implementing education and awareness. BSL is a form of canine genocide, discriminating a specific breed of dog based solely on physical characteristics and myths. It is fueled by ignorance and fear.
MCABSL’s main goal is to lift the Miami Pit Bull Ban that is responsible for the thousands of innocent dogs killed by this hideous ordinance. The ordinance was enacted in 1989 as a result of an alleged Pit Bull attacking a small girl. The knee jerk reaction taken by the Miami Dade County Commission at that time was to Ban Pit Bulls in the county. This led to a slaughtering of all American Staffordshire Terriers, American Staffordshire Bull Terriers, the American Pit Bull Terriers and their mixes. 
These sentient beings are voiceless on their own but their undying plea is being heard worldwide by the likes of MCABSL!
