I choose to take a stand, if we just ignore the problem then that is when BSL has an open door to step in. Trust me it makes me angry but I cannot just ignore the issue. I think it is time for us as owners to stand up to the bad media and educate them a little and at best let them know there are responsible owners out there that are not going to sit idle and let them bash our breed.

I do take a stand; every time BSL comes up in my area, I write a well constructed letter to the council people who make those decisions (I just wrote a letter to a near by city that just purposed BSL and I'm planning to attend the council meeting when they vote on this).

The difference between council members and a morning radio station is that a morning radio station is doing things for ratings. I don't know about you, but some of the radio stations in my area are pretty "out there". My favorite one is an alternative rock station that is running a contest right now; you enter your phone number and if they call you and you say PENIS! you win a thousand dollars.

Honestly, I'm not interesting in trying to make the PENIS radio station see things from my perceptive. There are some people who wont change their minds about anything; it's like arguing with a fundamentalist. At some point, you have to pick and choose your battles. I'd rather put my passion into speaking directly with council members or writing letters than arguing with some douchebag on some radio station; cause here they can be REAL douchers, so it's not really worth it.
