SIGN UP NOW - we expect another PACKED HOUSE!
"Punish the Deed, Not the Breed" The Truth about Pit Bulls. Seminar to be conducted at Buzzy's Companion Animal Education Center on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 (7pm - 9 pm).
WE ARE NOW TAKING SIGN UPS for this Seminar which will be an update of our "sold out" October 29, 2009 Seminar. WE ALREADY HAVE A WAITING LIST OF ATTENDEES FROM THE LAST SEMINAR.
Seminar will present the true positive facts about Pit Bulls and why BSL does not work. This event is free, but please register in advance ASAP. There is a limited capacity and we expect a quick sellout. REGISTER BY E-MAILING buzz@buzzysbowwowmeow.com with your number of attendees, and a phone number and email address where you can be reached.
Below is a summary of this educational seminar:
1. Introducing "ordinary folks" with their Pit Bulls/Pit Bull mixes, all of which were adopted or rescued from shelter type operations, some of which had been involved in dog fighting. These owners will tell their personal stories of what loving, fantastic, family oriented dogs their Pit Bulls are.
2. We will be showing on our large screen TVs several short videos of individuals and families sharing wonderful experiences with their Pit Bulls.
3. Expert speakers from Animal Farm Foundation, Inc. will be showing a fantastic Power Point evidencing the "true facts" about Pit Bulls and BSL. This knowledgeable group will also discuss their Pit Bull experiences.
4. We will have adoptable Pit Bulls for the audience to meet to understand that Pit Bulls have gotten a bum rap and are not the "killer dogs" often portrayed by the news media for sensational shock value.
5. Trainers who are experts in training Pit Bulls as household companions and family pets will be discussing their experiences.
6. We will be handing out a free several page Brochure stating the true favorable facts about Pit Bulls, which is contrary to the media sensationalism of the last 10+ years and which also will contain a summary of why BSL does not work.
7. We hope the general public will increase their Pit Bull adoptions and understand why BSL does not work. By being educated animal lovers, we can help put an end to judging a dog by its breed and not by its deed, which has resulted in needless euthanasia of innocent animals.
When Ed Fritz, Director of Best Friends' Animal Society's campaign: Pit Bulls: Saving America's Dog was at the PSPCA on August 27, 2009 Buzz hand fed dozens of dogs in the main adoption area of the PSPCA. About 80% of these dogs were Pit Bull/Pit Bull mixes. Even though Buzz spent only a few minutes, at most, with any one of the dogs, there was not one who did not appear adoptable as a great family pet. Because they felt so highly of the pits they encountered that afternoon, Buzz and his wife talked their daughter and son-in-law (both in their 40's) into adopting their first dog, a Pit Bull mix from the PSPCA.
We intend conducting similar events thru the time that Cyrus Mejia's art exhibit, "Pits & Perception" is brought to Philadelphia in 2010. Cyrus is a founder of Best Friends & his Exhibit contains large portraits of the Michael Vick Pit Bulls rehabbed at Best Friends.
Many thanks for your support!
