I actually support this one. I am a dog owner and keep my dog restrained. But I have been threatened many times by dogs coming after me because its owner won't keep the dog on their property. The cost of registering the dog and paying for insurance is what it is going to take to make the irresponsible people wake up to the safety hazard that their current lack of action in properly restraining their dogs is causing. Numerous complaints have been made about the same dogs, and now if they manage to bite someone or cause a bicyclist or motorcyclist to wreck something can be done. I’m glad VA has this.

This tumor caused him to loose use of all four legs. We had no other choice but to put him down to rest. We will miss Bear and will never be able replace him. He was a beloved family member who was accused of crime he did not commit. It was obvious to us and friends and family members that knew Bear that he was not capable of biting and or jumping high enough to bite the upper part of the back thigh of someone on a bike. But because of the law and no other witnesses other than another dog he was the one blamed. Every dog that is on the registry has a responsible owner. If we weren't, our dogs would not be alive to be on the site. It's sad to think that all the dogs that truly belong on the site have been put to sleep. But the dogs that are family members and are owned by responsible people are subject to fines and prosecution and the embarrassment of people thinking that you are a BAD Dog owner.

more humans are viciously attacked by other humans than by pit bulls or akitas. what’s good for the dog is good for the ‘ masters’. if your particular dog is dangerously vicious, we put you down too. if YOU, unrelated to a pet, are dangerously vicious- one ‘ bite’ and you’re thrown into a muzzle and orange ‘dangerous’ clown suit. 2nd ‘bite’ and we put you out of your misery.

The California pet extinction act AB 1634 was a wake up call for many of us and PetPac was born. http://www.petpac.net/about/ It is a Political Action Committee established specifically to fight bad animal legislation. It represents a broad constituency of dogs & cat owners, show and working animals, service and police dogs, mutts and purebreds, any animals and their owners targeted by onerous animal rights laws. PetPAC is new but its founders are experienced at fighting these battles. It became apparent that US pet owners needed a lobby to fight the many animal rights lobbies or we will legislate away our rights to have domestic pets and all be profiled in a database modeled for sex offenders.

It seems like the true criminals have their undeserved rights protected by our "justice system", while responsible pet owners are constantly harassed with increased legislation and big government intrusion...slowly but surely pet lover's rights are being eroded away. If this was common knowledge the public would be outraged because any sensible person can see the far reaching implications of this trend, but notice that we don't hear anything about this in the mainstream media?
