>
> Hello everyone, I don't send out a lot of emails regarding BSL, however, this
is an unprecedented situation.
>
> Florida State Representative, Perry E. Thurston, Jr. has filed House Bill 543,
to repeal the state's prohibition on Breed Specific Legislation. An identical
Senate version, S.B. 1276, has also been filed by Florida State Senator, Tony
Hill, Jr. Now is the time to take a stand and fight to save our family pets!
>
> If passed, this bill would allow all municipalities in the state of Florida to
enact Breed Specific Legislation! Currently, no municipality in Florida can pass
BSL --Miami still has a ban on pit bulls because of home rule, i.e. the ban was
placed before Florida prohibited BSL statewide.
>
> This bill is taking a step backwards and if passed would give the State of
Florida much more power over it's residents in terms of dog
ownership/companionship. This is not just about pit bulls, although as we know
pit bulls are usually the first to get targeted, this is about something much
more profound, increased governmental power over all dog owners.

> If you are a Florida resident please sign this petition and if you are not,
please send this email to anyone you know in Florida or anyone you know that
knows someone in Florida!

Go to this website and e-mail anyone that has to do with your county. I just sent about 20 e-mails to everyone that represents Hillsborough county.

Florida House of Representatives - Representatives

The main person we need to send e-mails to is Perry Thurston of Broward county since he is the one that filed H.B. 543.
