For me, it is about having a dog that is not a pit bull (I mean there could be one in her woodpile somewhere) but every time I take her somewhere someone asks if she is a pit bull. Her documentation all says "Boxer mix" but she fits the criteria of a pit bull and if someone wanted her gone, then I'd be screwed.

I also will be damned if I have to put a muzzle on her just because some asshole down the street can't be bothered to keep her stupid poodle dog on a leash or keep their cat contained.

If the BSL said "APBT" then maybe I wouldn't be so concerned, but it doesn't. It is a generic "pit bull" and based on all that generic description, my dog falls into a category that may have restrictions unfairly placed on them.

I just don't get why they would add more rules when they aren't enforcing the ones that already exist - specifically the leash law. Now you are making up a whole new group of lawbreakers when government in FL (especially our county) needs to have less issues to worry about since there is barely money to cover minimal services.
