United Dog Rebels Pledge:
Under this pledge of alliance, we declare that all dogs be free from any legislative attempts to eliminate them as family pets on the sole basis of their breed, size, or some other physical characteristic. Physical attributes do not determine the behavior of a dog nor can they accurately assess suitability as a companion to humans. In regards to Breed Specific Legislation, we demand that lawmakers accept factual testimony that supports the following:
We declare that no governmental body should have the authority to penalize responsible law abiding citizens by imposing specific breed or size restrictions on the dogs that we choose to own.
We declare that under the protection of the 14th amendment, we have the right to maintain our dogs as personal property, which cannot be taken away without due process of law.
We declare that any attempt to criminalize the possession of a dog based on its breed, size, or physical characteristics is prejudicial and therefore unlawful.
Overzealous governmental regulations interfere in the workings of a true democracy. Therefore, it is my duty and privilege as an American and citizen of the United States to strongly oppose and vote against any and all forms of discriminatory legislation that threaten my freedom as a dog owner.
