If one schoolchild takes a gun to school & kills his/her classmates, would you punish the shooter by killing the whole class? Why punish pets & owners who have done nothing? Rather like throwing the baby out with the bath water, if you ask me.

It seems that the Germans forgot to outlaw their own breeds of attack and watchdogs. This reeks of ignorance and xenophobia of American and English dog breeds.

The real criminal in the killing if the 6 year old boy was the human who owned and trained those dogs, not the breed of dogs involved. Why is the German "solution" to problems always violence and mass murders? Do you think this is any less hysterical just because the victims of the insanity are canines instead of humans?

DEUTSCHE VERSION: Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Seit der öffentlichen Bekanntmachung der "Gefahrhundeverordnung" in NRW herrschen unbeschreibliche Zustände auf Deutschlands Straßen: Nach Meldungen kommt es immer häufiger zu Ausschreitungen gegen Hundehalter und Hunde. Jeder große Hund wird automatisch n die Ecke gefährlicher Kampfhunde gedrängt. Hunde wurden verletzt und getötet - teilweise in bestialischer Manier. Hundeführer werden verbal bedroht, auf das übelste beschimpft, mit Steinen beworfen, mit Schußwaffen bedroht, usw. Die vom Ministerium für Umwelt, Raumordnung und Landwirtschaft unter der Federführung von Bärbel Höhn verabschiedete "Gefahrhundeverordnung" ist ein unüberlegter und unwirksamer Schnellschuß der Beißunfälle auch in Zukunft nicht verhindern wird, da die kr minellen Leute in unserer Gesellschaft nun andere Rassen mißbrauchen werden. Durch dieses Gesetz werden Hundehalter und Rassen pauschal kriminalisiert und die übrige Bevölkerung in Angst und Schrecken versetzt. NRW hatte eine Gefahrhundeverordnung , die bei konsequenter sachgerechter Anwendung durch die Behörden ausreichend gewesen wäre um die schrecklichen Vorfälle zu unterbinden. Es darf nicht sein, daß alle Hundehalter pauschal für die Versäumnisse der Behörd n ihren Kopf und den Kopf Ihrer Hunde hinhalten müssen. Leider wird seitens unserer Presse, die vorher jeden Beißunfall dankend aufnahm, nicht bzw. nur am Rande über die unhaltbaren Zustände berichtet denen sich Hundehalter jetzt ausgesetzt sehen. Bitte setzen Sie sich mit uns für ein Gesetz ein, daß dort ansetzt wo es nötig wäre: Bei kriminellen Hundehaltern die ihre Tier zu Waffen machen und die auch weiterhin die Gesetze brechen werden indem sie ihre "Beißmaschinen", egal welcher Rasse, einfach icht melden. Votieren Sie bei Zeitungen, Politikern, Fernsehen für ein sinnvolles Gesetz, das nicht unbescholtene Bürger und Hunde in die kriminelle Ecke drängt und so dem Mob aussetzt! Nutzen Sie bitte alle evtl. Kontakte, die Sie zu Politikern und Leuten mit Einfluß habt, um diese dazu zu bewegen in unserem Sinne tätig zu werden. Denken Sie auch daran, das es vielleicht möglich ist, andere Verbände und Vereine die nichts mit Hunden direkt zu tun haben, dazu zu bewegen sich gegen diese Diskriminierung von Hundehaltern und Hunderassen zu stellen. Die in der neuen LHV geforderten Maßnahmen Polizeiliches Führungszeugnis, Sachkunde-Nachweis sollten für ALLE Hundehalter eingeführt werden. Zudem sollte JEDER Hundehalter mit seinem Hund durch eine abgelegte Team-Test-Prüfung (Begleithundeprüfung) belege , daß sein Hund ein Mindestmaß an Erziehung genossen hat und keine Gefahr für andere darstellt. Politik die zur Diskriminierung und Ächtung von Menschen und Hunden führt, die noch nie mit dem Gesetz gebrochen haben, kann keine gute Politik sein. Unkontrollierbare und aggressive Hunde haben in unserer Gesellschaft nichts zu suchen. Eine gewisse Klientel darf einfach keinen Zugang zu Hunden bekommen. Denn auch Hunde, die jetzt nicht in der Liste der "Kampfhunde" aufgeführt werden, lassen sich mit brachialen Methoden zu Beißmaschinen umfunktionieren. Selbst der gutmütigste Hund wird bei entsprechender tierverachtender Behandlung zur Bestie. Heute sind s die Pitbulls, Dobermänner u.a. - morgen werden wir Berner Sennenhund und Co. unter Umständen in diese Listen aufnehmen müssen, weil das Problem sich jetzt auf andere Rassen verlagern wird. Die Listen müssen weg! - Zumal die meisten der 42 aufgeführten Rassen nicht durch Aggressivität aufgefallen sind. Tierschutzorganisationen, Hundezucht- und Hundesportverbände, Hundehalter, Tierärzte und viele andere in diesem Land sind schockiert und betrübt und tun ihr Möglichstes um diese, in Teilen so unsinnige, Verordnung zu Fall zu bringen. Denn im Endeffekt die t diese Verordnung in dieser Form weder den Menschen, noch den Hunden, in diesem Land. Helfen Sie uns! Verschicken Sie diese Mail an möglichst viele Bekannte und Freunde und treten Sie mit uns für eine sinnvolle Verordnung, die nicht kriminalisiert und pauschalisiert ein. Im Anschluß finden Sie Adressen, an die Sie ihre Proteste richten können. VIELEN DANK! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2. ENGLISH VERSION: PLEASE PASS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AND FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE VIA SNAIL MAIL, E-MAIL, FAX, OR LEAFLET Dear Sir or Madam! Since the "State Dog Ordinance" (Landeshundeverordnung, LHV) has gone into effect in the German state of North-Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), conditions for dog owners on German streets are indescribable. According to various reports, more and more often dog own rs and dogs are the target of attacks. Every large dog is automatically regarded as a dangerous (so-called) "Fighting-dog" (Kampfhund). Dogs have been injured and killed, sometimes in a beastly manner. Dog owners are being verbally assaulted, abused in th most unspeakable of terms, attacked with stones, threatened with firearms, etc. The "State Dog Ordinance," passed by the Ministry for Environment, Civil Affairs, and Agriculture (Ministerium für Umwelt, Raumordnung, and Agriculture) under the leadership of Bärbel Höhn, is an ill-considered and ineffective knee-jerk response that will not lessen accidental dog bites in the future, because the criminal elements in our society will shift the abuse to other breeds. This ordinance criminalizes dog owners and dog breeds across the board, and has lead to fear and terror in the general public North-Rhine-Westphalia already had a "Dangerous Dog Act" (Gefahr-hundeverordnung, GHV) that, had it been consequently and appropriately enforced by the authorities, would have been sufficient to preclude the terrible events. The lapses on the part of the uthorities should not be made better at the expense of dog owners and their dogs across the board. For example, in Hamburg, the dog owner whose dogs killed the six-year old boy, Volkan, had been cited many times, and violated all of the restrictions place on him. Volkan's death could have been prevented, if the civil authorities had acted in a timely manner. Unfortunately the press, which has been happy in the past to incorporate dog bite accidents, will either not report, or report only obliquely, the untenable conditions in which dogs and their owners find themselves now. Please support with us a law that i pacts where it should -- the criminal dog owners who transform their dogs into weapons, and who will also continue to break the law by not registering their "biting machines," irrespective of breed. Voice your desire for sensible legislation to newspapers, politicians and television, so good dog owners aren't forced into the same corner as criminals, and become fair-game for the angry mob. Use the contacts you may have with politicians and individual with influence, and convince them to act on our behalf. Don't forget to involve clubs and organisations that might not have anything to do with dogs, but would be sympathetic to standing with us against the discrimination of dog owners and breeds. Some measures contained in the LHV, for example, a clean criminal record and demonstrating sufficient knowledge to correctly care for a dog, required by the new law should apply to ALL dog owners. Further, EVERY dog should pass with their owner a "Team Te t" evaluation, similar to the companion dog test (Begleithundeprüfung), to demonstrate the minimally acceptable level of correct upbringing, and to ensure the dog is not dangerous to others. Political actions leading to the discrimination and prohibition of people and their dogs, who have never been in conflict with the law, can not be good politics. Uncontrollable and aggressive dogs shall not be allowable in our society. Certain criminal elements should be denied access to dogs all together. Because also dogs that are not yet listed under the "State Dog Ordinance" can be turned into biting machines f subjected to brutal (brachial) methods. And even the best-tempered dog will turn into a beast if treated so inhumanely. Today it is the Pitbull Terrier and the Doberman among others. Tomorrow it will be the Saint Bernhard, or others of like ilk, that co ditions will force to be added to these lists -- because the interest of criminal elements will have shifted to other breeds. The lists have to go! Not only because most of the 42 listed breeds have never displayed remarkable aggressiveness, but also because some have been extinct for decades, proving the knee-jerk actions of the politicians. Animal welfare organisations, breed clubs and dog-sport associations, dog owners, veterinarians and many others in this country are shocked and saddened, and will do their utmost to topple this law, which is so ill-considered. The bottom-line is neither p ople nor dogs in this country are served by this ordinance in its present form. Please help us! Send this E-mail to as many friends and acquaintances as possible, and fight with us for a law that is sensible but does not criminalize or treat the manner in glittering generalities. An annex follows that contains addresses to which you can direct copies of your protests. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3. NEDERLANDS GRAAG DOORSTUREN AAN ZOVEEL MOGELIJK MENSEN EN VRIENDEN VIA E-MAIL /FAX Geachte meneer/ mevrouw, Sinds de publieke verordening van de wet "gevaarlijke honden" in de Duitse deelstaat Noord Rijn Westfalen, zijn de condities voor honden eigenaren op straat onbeschrijfelijk geworden: De verhalen gelovende, worden meer en meer honden eigenaren en hun hond n het doel van aanvallen. Elke grote hond wordt automatische veroordeeld tot de zogenaamde groep van "Vecht Honden". Honden worden mishandeld en/of vermoord, en in sommige gevallen op beestachtige wijze. Honden eigenaren worden verbaal bedreigt, uitgescho den en in sommige gevallen aangevallen met stenen en zelfs met vuurwapens. De verordening "Gevaarlijke Honden" gepasseerd door het ministerie van milieu, ruimtelijke-ordening en landbouw, vallende onder de verantwoording van Mevr. Bärbel Höhn, is een ondoordachte en ineffectief schot in de ruimte, en zal ons ook in de toekomst n et vrijwaren van honden bijt incidenten, omdat het criminele element in onze samenleving zich tot en andere Rassen zullen wenden ten einde hun doel te verwezenlijken. Deze wet brengt angst en terreur onder het volk en de honden eigenaren tevens worden hon en rassen wereld wijd in de criminele hoek geduwd. Noord Rijn Westfalen had voorheen een "Gevaarlijke Honden Wet", welke, als hij consequent was uitgevoerd door de autoriteiten, goed genoeg geweest zou zijn om de activiteiten van deze criminele elementen te ondermijnen. Het moet niet zo zijn dat honden ei enaren en hun honden wereld wijd gestraft worden voor de incompetentie van de autoriteiten. De pers welke met groot enthousiasme elk bijt incident in het verleden heeft gepubliceerd, schittert heden door afwezigheid of weigert voldoende publiciteit te geven over de hachelijke condities waarin honden en hun eigenaren zich nu bevinden. Protesteer daarom tegen deze wet in Kranten, bij politici, en op televisie zodat onschuldige hondeneigenaren niet de hoek van de criminaliteit geduwd worden, of het mik punt van agressie worden in de samenleving. Gebruik alle middelen en kontakten welke t t uwe beschikking staan voor het bereiken van politici en/of VIP´s welke ruchtbaarheid kunnen geven aan deze wantoestanden. Protesteer tevens bij sympathiserende clubs en organisaties welke iets kunnen doen aan discriminatie van hondeneigenaren en honden assen. Een veel betere verordening zou bijvoorbeeld zijn:dat hondenhouders en of begeleiders geen crimineel verleden m.b.t. dierenmishandeling mogen hebben, en/of het aantonen van kennis van houden van honden, of zelfs een test maatschappelijk aanvaarbaar gedrag voor honden. In plaats van het discrimineren en verwerpen van mensen en dieren welke nooit in conflict met de wet geweest zijn door de politiek. Oncontroleerbare en agressieve honden kunnen niet meer getolereerd worden in onze samenleving. Daarom zouden sommige criminele elementen het houden van honden of dieren verboden moeten worden. Zelfs honden welke nog niet genoteerd staan onder de wet "gevaarlijke honden" kunnen veranderd worden in vecht machines wanneer zij ze daarvoor de benodigde behandeling krijgen. En zelfs de liefste hond zou veranderen in een monster onder deze behandeling Vandaag is het de Pitbull terriër en de Doberman, morgen is het de St. Bernhard etc. etc. welke op deze lijst verschijnt vanwege het feit dat de interesse van de criminele elementen naar deze rassen verschoven is. De lijsten moeten verdwijnen! en niet alleen omdat de 42 daarop geregisterde rassen zich niet agressief gedragen hebben, maar omdat sommige eigenaren zich "crimineel" gedragen. De dierenbescherming, honden fokkers, honden sport verenigingen, honden eigenaren, dierenartsen en vele meer in dit land zijn geschokt en bedroefd, en zullen hun uiterste best doen deze wet, welke ondoordacht is, ten val te brengen omdat aan het einde van de rit, deze wet in zijn huidige vorm van nul en generlei waarde is voor de gemeenschap, honden eigenaren en laat staan voor de honden in dit land. Help ons alstublieft, zend dit bericht naar zoveel mogelijk vrienden, familie en bekenden, en vecht met ons voor een wet welke effectief is en rechtvaardig. Als bijlage vind u het adres waar tot U uw protest kunt richten. HARTELIJK DANK VOOR U STEUN. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4. SWEDISH VERSION "Sedan det officiella tillkännagivandet av "Farliga Hundar Aktionen" i den tyska regionen Nord-Rhen-Westphalien har tillståndet för hundägare på de tyska gatorna blivit obeskrivbar: Hundar och dess ägare är målet för attackerna. Varje stor hund blir autom tiskt dömd jäms med de så kallade "slagsmålshundarna" Hundar blir skadade och dödade, ofta på ett motbjudande sätt. Hundägare blir hotade, smädade verbalt och attackerade med stenar, till och med vapen. "Farliga Hundar Aktionen" framförd av miljödepartementet och jordbruksverket under ledning av Bärbel Höhn, är en dåligt konstruerad och ineffektiv vild chansning, som inte kommer att minska antalet hundbettsolyckor i framtiden. De kriminella i vårt samhäl e kommer att finna ersättande raser för sin misshandel. Denna lag föder rädsla och skräck hos allmänheten, och hundar och hundägare blir generellt kriminaliserade. Nord-Rhen-Westphalia har redan haft en "Farliga Hundar Aktion" som om den blivit konsekvent och lämpligt efterlevd hade varit tillräcklig för att undergräva dessa kriminella element. Det får inte ske att hundar och dess ägare blir generellt straffade på g und av myndigheternas oförmåga. Tyvärr har pressen, som tidigare tacksamt publicerat varje hundbettsolycka, valt att inte eller otillräckligt publicera artiklar om den ohållbara situation som hundar och dess ägare befinner sig i nu. Kämpa mot denna lag i tidningar, hos politiker i TV så att goda hundägare inte blir instängda i ett kriminellt hörn, och blir lovliga byten för allmänheten. Använd alla kontakter du har för att påverka politiker och personer med inflytande. Glöm inte klub ar och organisationer, vilka kanske inte har någonting att göra med hundar, men trots det kanske kan sympatisera med oss mot diskrimineringen av hundar och dess ägare. Vissa åtgärder, till exempel ett fläckfritt kriminellt förflutet och bevis på kunskap om hundägande, genomdriven av den nya lagen ska ju gälla ALLA hundägare. Vidare ska VARJE hund gå igenom en "Bra Hundmedborgare"-kurs för att bevisa ett gott beteende oc föräkran om att hunden inte på något sätt är farlig. Politikerna, som diskriminerar och bannlyser människor och hundar som aldrig haft något otalt med rättvisan, kan inte vara bra politiker. Okontrollerbara och aggressiva hundar ska inte vara tillåtna i vårt samhälle. Vissa kriminella skulle bli nekade tillgång till alla sorters hundar. Även hundar som inte finns med i "Farliga Hundar Aktionen", kan förvandlas till bitmaskiner om de blir utsatta för direkt våld. Och den mest älskvärda hund kommer att förvandlas till ett monster om den blir behandlad så omänskligt. Idag är det Pitbull och Doberman, i morgon Saint Bernhard&Co som kommer att stå på dessa listor då de kriminella i stället vänder sig till andra raser. Listorna måste bort! Inte bara för att de flesta av dessa 42 raser aldrig visat någon aggressivitet. Djurskyddsföreningar, Hunduppfödare, Hundklubbar, Hundägare, Veterinärer och många fler är här i Tyskland chockerade och säger att de vill göra allt de kan för att få ett slut på denna ogenomtänkta lag. Denna lag är i sin existerande form inte till någon ytta för hundägarna och framför allt inte för hundarna i detta land. Hjälp oss! Sänd detta mail till så många vänner och familjemedlemmar som du känner. Hjälp oss få en lag som är effektiv utan att kriminalisera! Som bilaga finner du adresser dit du direkt kan rikta din protest.

I want you to read this Canadian Page: www.ottawacitizen.com/national/000728/4524636.html And now tell me: is that a german virus spreading all over the world??? I don't understand what is happening. Why do people blame innocent animals for their faults???? All these accidents with dogs mostly have one thing together: a human behaved wrong! Ev n children behave wrong, because their parents dont teach them how to behave. They teach children in school how to behave on the streets or how to recognize a drug dealer or anything like that. And, nearly 400 dog bites in a country with million of people is that really a big problem??? how many people die because of car accidents??? I cannot believe that within a short period of 2 month nearly the whole world gets crazy. more than 8000 years dogs live together with us, and now they all are killers??? I t ink, the politicians really need someone to blame for to cover the social problems all over the world and its the best thing, to blame someone without a voice and without any rights. But these poor creatures still have someone to fight for them, we all lo e our dogs and we will not stop doing that. So please, don't stop acting against germany, but think, if there are some others to fight against!

I'm horrified at what is happening in Germany at the moment.We own a Rhodesian Ridgeback who is our family pet,if Germany are successful in passing the bans into the European Union then we may very well lose our wonderful dog.I can't believe that they are condemning these dogs when it is just an odd few who have attacked.Surely it should be the responsibilty of the owners to train their dogs to behave well therefore the owner should ultimately be responsible. We have added an on line petition to our website please take the time to go & sign it www.theeveretts.co.uk

Thse of us who have spent the last three weeks trying to get media attention to expose this reawakening of the Nazi Nightmare -- are you aware...this SAME legislation tactics of "overnight edicts" was done once before -- in 1939---SAME country against AL pets and then people...one would have to be deaf dumb and blind NOT to see the parallels.WHO and WHAT is next?The greatest aid anyone with E mail can give the innocents ofGermany s to form a blitzkrieg on every major news broadcaster, IN America,that mea s, E mail: ABCNews,com,NBCNews.com,CBS News.cm. your local tv news, your mjor newspapers,Extratv.National Enquirer,Seeing Eye Dogs ofAmerica(a blind woman was nearly assaulted with her seeing eye dog in Dusseldorf 2 weeks ago) chastise People magazine for celebrating airheads instead of covering REAL People in true need of exposure...in each case...WHY aren't they covering THIS ultimate betrayal of the public by their elected officials. And don't forget Dateline/(NBC).20/20 (AB ), don't forget Chrysler/Daimler, and Time and Life magazine too!...in short, the more messages that stack up from around the world on their websites...the more the producers are likely to get off their buns and to shed a spotlight on it...volume of respo se gains headway.I'm tempted to start wearing m neighbor's dobermanpincherspiked collar over my shirt and tie and make a big green "ID" tag like owners in Germany are being forced to buy if their dogs passes the 3 hr psychological evaluation test.But I t ink I'll put the German : Ich bin ein Kampfhund! on it (I am a killerdog)..now wouldn't that gain some media attention if people started wearng those in support of good pet owners being singled out and punished by Draconian methods!Just a positive thought Unlike 60 yrs ago,dirty little secrets CAN be exposed by the internet, it just needs the support of more than a handful of us people complaining to the media to gain the response needed....and I think we CAN DO IT!!!

As an animal owner and lover, training animals to attack ppl is criminal. The ethical treatment of these animals has befallen on non civilized ppl. This has to stop. I can not damn an entire country for the acts of some of its uncivilized citizens however, i can damn a government who will not take action on those ppl. Why must the German government fall upon what was done in the past...Abolishment of all who they presume to cause a problem...It is wrong of them to place the blame on certain breeds of animals, the blame needs to be directed at the root cause. the owners are not treated as the criminals they are.

In Saturday, a group of Jews in Duesseldorf were injured by a bomb made by a Nazi. Some Mass-Media tried to discuss the Nazi danger in Germany.(One should say that about 800 Nazi attacks against foreigners occur every year in Germany; many foreigners are illed by Nazi) It is worth to compare the style and the level of discussions about the Nazi and dog problems: Against dogs: strong, decisive, hard words and decisions, quick acting, hard punishments, mass killing, new laws, the official side is represented by Federal Minister Schilly, supported by the wife of Chancellor Schroeder, all ministers are actively invo ved. Nazi problem (last many decades): middle-level officials discuss on TV that the school education should better look at the problem; Minister Schilly said "No new law is required"; the courts give the Neo-Nazi criminals very mild punishments after many yea s of consideration. In fact, this Dog Holocaust Case looks as a practical exercice to the know book of D. Goldhagen "Hitler's Willing Executioners".

Yes I'd like to state that when we all hear about these attacks, its always "ooh a pitbull attack", but the real question is why did this dog do such a thing? The public is so very blind about this beautifull breed.I own two APBT myself, and there is no s ch thing as a pitbull turning on his owner, its just the constent abuse the fighting and being treated less than dirt, well would you boycote your owner. The owner should be reponse able for these dogs actions. A week ago here in my town a Pit bull attack was in the paper. Well of coures it was a big deal and it had a full page for the story. Well the stroy stated that this lady(the dogs owner rocket) came home and her dog attaked her. Hmmm well then it said she ran out side to escape from rocket, and on the way out the door the dog turned its attenion on a car that stopped do to all the comotion. Well the story said it took 3 cops and 2 dog handlers, and 4 darts of tranquelizers. Sounds pre ty wild. So my wife and i went to see this so called mean dog, hey real mean this dog had apperant bruises scars a big scap on his back, this beautifull dog even pissed on him self. Ok so what happened to this dog at home, the press don't care its just an ther story. I once heard this saying six standard poodles are far worst than one mean pit, rott, or pincher. Its people like that man in the story why owners lik emy self and many others can not get home owners or renters insurance, and why because we own an APBT..I was in the Army not too long ago, and to go to germany you can not take pitbulls, hmm need less t say i did not go. I love my dogs to no end and to hear of such ignorance apauls me. The dogs of Germany are doomed do to one stupid owner, the title fits the story well....

We have had numerous problems throughout the U.S. with people using their dogs as "macho" signatures of themselves. However, no one in the U.S. has ever been so cruel as to put an all out ban on a certain breed. We as a people understand the stupidity of ndividuals in using animals as a way of elevating their importance in any situation. However, we also understand that it is not the dogs fault, it is the people who breed them for whatever purpose. I feel the ban in Germany is unthoughtful and actually de ided upon an emotional situation rather than a logical one. I hope the German people think twice about what they are doing and correct the situation.

Please boycot Germany and german products and let it know the to the german politicians. Money is perhaps the only thing they understand. I am not an owner of a so called "fighting dog" (I think all those dogs I know and 99.99 % of the others, too, are go d animals). But we have to resist. Today they come for your doberman and tomorrow for your leonberger or your borzoi or your deerhound. I never understood the things that happened before 60 years (we can not compare this, I know) but now I can. At the mom nt it is not possible here to walk with a big dog in public areas, we have to go out at fife a clock in the morning or in the late evening. In the town of Wuppertal a "very dangerous" little spitz was killed by the mob with a knife and a border

Having owned a staffordshire Bull Terrier Dog for 5 years we have never had any worry about his temperement. We even have Racing Pigeons which he has gone to every day from being 8 weeks. He sits amongst them, eats their corn, and lets them walk over hi . He has even been know to clean under the wings of the baby birds. I consider it an atrocity that this wonderful breed is looking at extinction because of some peoples ignorance. Any dog, any breed, has the potential to be a dangerous dog if not trained and disciplined properly, or given a caring and loving home.

STOP THE HUMANS, NOT THE DOGS. PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE DONE TO THE OWNERS, AND I HAVE A FEW IDEAS HOW. SEE HOW THEY'D LOVE TO BE TORTURED AND FOUGHT TO THE DEATH, LEFT TO SUFFER, THEN TOSSED OVER A HILL SOMEWHERE. T ESE "PEOPLE" ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO BE STOPPED, NOT THE DOGS. LEAVE THEM ALONE.

This is indeed a very sad state of affairs. All the innocent that are being harrassed and hurt in this hysterical witch-hunt on poor innocent creatures all over the world, purely because of a couple of dogs that unfortunately did some terrible things ( ei her due to craziness or to having owners that were irresponsible or who had a hand in turning them aggressive). A dog showered with love does not do terrible things. Any dog, of any race, even the so-called harmless ones, can bite and attack under certain circumstances. It's funny to think about it, but there would be no human beings left in the world if we were to start wiping out each race, various groups or a whole family, everytime a human-being commits a crime, a murder or just goes plain crazy.The list is endless.. But then again, we cannot say that there haven't been attempts. All in all, human-beings are the most cruel of all creatures on earth, whether intentionally or not. Somehow we still haven't got it through our heads that we are not God and do not have the right to play God either. In the end, we only end up by destroying ourselves and the rest of this beautiful world with us.

I wish to add my voice to the ever increasing disgust we all feel here at the way you are treating the "so called" dangerous dogs. If German people were forced to have their dogs trained they would not be dangerous dogs. It seems the German solution to verything they don't like is slaughter them. What a disgusting attitude to take. There are no such things as "dangerous dogs" it is their owners who are dangerous and should never be allowed to keep animals if they are incapable of training and looking fter them. Thank goodness I am English where we are tolerant of animals I would hate to have to live in such a country as yours

I think it is barbaric in situations where dogs have to be slaughtered over the fault of the owners. Every dog owner has the ability of keeping their dog under control and controlling the dog's fierce tendancies (if it has any). If people cannot control certain types of dogs then they shouldn't be allowed to own them, slaughtering them is just an excuse for ignorance. I am a female who own two Dobermanns which I can very easily keep under control, maybe the Germany community should go on training course if they want to own dogs so they can learn how to handle them. I am just relieved that England is not as ignorant as Germany, thank goodness I do not live there!!!!

Begründung: Nach $11 NGefAG bin ich berechtigt ,notwendige Massnahmen zu ergreifen,um eineGefahr für dieöffetliche Sicherheit abzuwenden. Durch widerholte Attacken der sogenannten Kampfhunde sind in der Vergangeheit Personen massiv verletzt und sogar getötet worden .Das Land Niedersachsen hat deshalb folgende Hunde und Kreuzugen daraus grundsätzlich als aggresiv,bissig und gefährlich eingestuft 1 Rottweiler 2.Fila Brasileiro 3Rottweiler 4 Kaukasischer Owtscharka 5Mastiff 6Mastin Espaol 7Mastino Napoletano 8Badog 9.Tosa Inu 10 Bullmastiff 11 Dogo Argetio 12Doberman 13Staffordshire Bullterrier Das Führen dieser Hunde und Kreuzunge ohne Leine und ohne Leine ud ohne Maulkorb auf Stasse ,Wegen, Plätzen und Grünalagen stellt eine Gefahr für die Öffetliche Sicherheit dar .Die Kommue sind daher angewiese ,alle MASSNAHMEN zu ergreifen ,um den Schutz on Personen ,Tiere und Sachen vor Agriffen dieser Hunde bzw.Kreuzugen daraus zu gewährleisten.

I have a 6 year old Staffie who is the softest (although admittedly daftest) dog I know. Everyone tells me how lovable she is and the local children love her!! She has NEVER so much as growled let alone bitten anyone, not even another dog, though she ha been attacked several times by various mongrels in the park. I was shocked and distressed to read about the Germans - are they really so ignorant as to believe that one dog who has been TRAINED to attack is representative of a breed. Words fail me, I a very angry and deeply saddened.

I can't even fathom the kind of thinking that has developed such violent reaction to a biting incident.

I hope this breed ban will end really soon and that politicians will open their eyes , hearts and minds. The real criminals should be punished , not innocent dogs. I own a Rhodesian Ridgeback and am really happy that the Belgian government will not follow Germany's proposition to ban certain breeds from Europe. They believe that any breed can be made aggressive and used for dog fights so why punish an entire breed. lso statistically , the breeds that are in danger don't bite that often. All people who have been harmed and hurt , our thoughts are with you. If I can do anything (sign more petitions ,...) , please let me know , I will do anything I can to stop this insanity

Yes patty, I think you´re out of line. This is just horrible, what´s happening to the dogs, but has nothing to do with WWII. I truly hope at least some of you treasure the value of being able to have a different opinion.

Hi, just thought I should write something in here, after some of you have written me. I appreciate what you´re doing here, keep up the pressure to ensure a fair dealing with the situation. However, I still think the word dog holocaust is badly chosen, esp cially if someone writes me things like "haven´t you germans learned anything from the horrible killing of the jews". I am a german, and grandchild of a jew who died in Mauthausen concentration camp. I feel deeply insulted by this, I´m sorry. I appreciate what you´re doing, but please, please be careful what you´re saying. Flo (the one whose been misunderstood)

What is happening today in Germany is totally disgusting. No dogowner is safe anymore, neighbours and friends are called on to spy and report. Dogs are already being killed in animal-shelters, just because of their breed. Their has been a witchhunt for ye rs on various breeds by the media. Every incident with a dog was blown out of all proportion, badly injured people were only hours after the so called vicious attacks interviewed and all smiles and happiness about their own importance. Some people were no even attacked, they made it up, to get into the media. The death of that poor child in Hamburg was due to total negligence of the authorities and nothing else. Dogs should be taken away from such criminals. Had the authorities enforced the existing laws, which were good, we wouldnt be in such a state now. I own dogs and I want to live in peace and quite with my animals, as my family and I have done for over 30 years. No dog of ours has ever bitten, threatened or otherwise misbehaved towards people. Why sh uld people like us and our animals be punished for the negligence and stupid behaviour of others. I am grateful for all the support we are getting on these pages. Thanks

By way of sharing further information: the "dangerous dog mania" in Germany is not confined to government determined to stamp our dangerous dogs, but here are two recent incidents showing how the general public is "helping" to eradicate dangerous dogs... hich are not even on the lists. Christa Uferman was on her way to the Dusseldorf protest last Saturday. travelling by bus and train with her seeing eye dog. Three young man got on the same train, one of which threatened to beat her GSD to pulp, and let her "have it". Fortunately he was restrained and neither Ms. Uferman nor her guide dog were injured. Another newspaper account in the Westfahlen Rundschau (no date on the clipping, but apparently hot off the presses) relates the experience of Erika Klappe and her German Shepherd Cora on their5 way home from an evening stroll. They were assaulted by two g nmen who wanted to put her and her critter away for good. Fortunately the gun misfired and neighbors rushed out at the commotion, so the gunmen took off and vanished. A police report was filed, but the men have not yet been apprehended. Finally, a German reporter who has been chronicling the events from the Hamburg region but has been unable to get her accounts into print, told me that Hamburg authorities set up a hot-line for folks to report "dangerous dogs". The hotline broke down fro heavy use as neighbors of dog owners turned in anything with four legs. While the police rushed out to "inestigate", they mostly found puppies at play and harmless breeds not on that list... but doesn't that ring bells for anyone familiar with history f the last decade?

There is no humanity in our governm nt any more! we are ruled by mass medias who want to make profit by selling awful horror-stories! If you are interested to help the dogs, please look at: http://HundeverordnungNRW.com -> this is a german website in english! There you can send your comments directly to all our politicians! www.deutsches-hundemagazin.de -> this is an information desk made by a big dog-magazine. you can get english information too there! and spend money to www.bullterrier-in-not.de -> go to "Sammelklage". there you get information where you can spend money to try to save the dogs by court! these people especially care about all Staffordshires, Bulldogs etc.. Not all Germany are bad and we fight as much as we can, but we need the world to help us! There is no information here in Germany about foreign petitions or newspaper edtions or something! Except if you have internet and connect the world.

This all encompassing ban on dogs of specified breeds is senseless and irrational. Dogs who attack humans should be put to death, family pets with good socialization should not. This is a large net cast out over many breeds which do not deserve such con emnation. Once again, is Germany going to disgrace both their own country and the world by this type of behavior, condemning to death breeds of dogs for no reason other than their breed type is no less irrational than condemning Jewish people for their r ligious beliefs. ARe there no voices of reason in the whole government over there? Is this still a country governed by lambs who will follow any one sheep who starts a source of descrimination and condemnation? Does no one in the government ask questio s, or do they just follow one another, like lambs to slaughter? The whole dog ownership world is watching you and will do whatever is necessary to protect the dog members of our families from another holocaust. This is insanity, once again.

I am giving my wholehearted to your campaign and will be boycotting German goods from this day onwards. I hope the German govt is listening to the people supporting this campaign and decide to rethink their incredibly shortsighted policies. Perhaps they c uld invest in training new dog owners on how to control and train their dogs from an early age so that these problems do not occur rather than banning certain breeds which in the right hands are not dangerous in any way. I own two German shepherd dogs who love people and are more likely to lick someone to death! Therefore I can only imagine what would happen if I lived in Germany right now.... I will continue to boycott all German goods until this policy is reversed. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for doing what you do. I think, it is a drama what is happening in Germany right now. Not the dogs should be punished. Its their owner who make every dog to that what it is. So why don`t they just go and check out the owners of the dogs???? If a pe son kills another with a gun nobody ever says we must destroy every gun and the production of guns must be stopped. No in this case the person who used the gun to kill someone is going to be punished. So, is there anybody out there who can explain to me, hy dogs must be killed?

This whole fiasco is an outrage, the British Dangerous Dogs Act is bad enough, again specifying against particular breeds, but the German Government is creating absolute hysteria. Take steps to educate the public and dog owners, any breed is a potential iller if not trained and handled correctly.

I am the owner of a Yorkshire Terrier. So, even though my dog is not seen as a threat, I can understand the bond that these other so called "vicious" dogs and their owners have. A dog is a dog. Some have genetic traits that make them excell at certain obs. But, with proper understanding of the breed by the owners, they can be taught to be good human companions. I let my little 4 pound Yorkie play with Dobermans, Rottweilers, and Mastiffs. They have all been wonderful toward her and myself.

But these dogs were taught by humans to fight, were proven biters and already had an 'order' against them. Why was this not acted on? Why did the politsions not rectify the social unrest that caused these idiots to teach their dogs to guard? Why blame breeds of dogs when the biggest menace is the human one.

Translated from Westfälische Rundshau ( Newspaper ) of today july 21st : Dortmund : Around 10 PM the silence in the Hainallee was suddenly interrupted by a shooting. Two unknown gunmen shot twice at Mrs. Erika Kappe and her faithfull sheperd Cora. After several hours this lady, living in Dortmund, is still under shock : " How could this ever happen ? ". No trace of the two gunmen. In 1999 Dortmund organized the Agility World Championships. 9 months later people are threatened just because they walk their dogs. This shows the fear and hate climate, created by the German politicians and fueled by the extreme right wing press. Send your protests to bundeskanzler@bundeskanzler.de

No dog holocaust is in Germany? OK, the name is surely not quite correct. But: The signs stand on storm and this means: fight the beginnings! In the federal state "Hessen", all owners of a definite breed of dog must attach reds signposts at the door. Three breeds of dog must be passed on by the owners until October 2000. The dogs may not be arranged, therefore they are killed. There is a clear tatement of the politicians in different federal states: „.. We must kill as many brutes, as possible ... ". (Statement of Mr. RUNDE, Mayor of Hamburg - Statement of Mr. BOUFFIER, Secretary of the Interior of the federal state Hessen). dpa reported on July 6th: „The Hessian authorities will have thousands of „fight dogs" retracted and killed until October 2000." I live in the federal state of NRW. I am owner of a Dobermann. This dog is mutated to a „fight dog" overnight. Because this dog stands on a "list" since 7-6-2000 , I must pay 1.800,00 DM dog license fee every year. This means: ca. 900 US-Dollar every year Until now, it was 180,00 DM ( ca. 90 US-Dollar) every year. And: from now on, my dog must be muzzled. American Staffordshire, Pitbulls and Staffordshire still may fortunately live up to end in the federal state NRW. But: there are no more capacities to take dogs from other federal states. This means the sure death. The „protection of animals"- organization in Hamburg has announced a stop of capacities for these dogs. It is called there: We aren't a slaughter-house for dogs. But meanwhile, a former institution for animal experiments became to the accommodation place or dogs of the "3 races" in Hamburg. The animals shall be killed there. This is an unbelievable cynicism of the politicians. Furthermore, owners of dogs of any race become attacked and sworn. „Dog-Haters" celebrate a triumph. Sabine Gerlach / Germany, NRW.

Two sugestions: are there lawyers on this list who would take on a constitutional test of the new or proposed new German laws? To the German High Court on grounds that it violates Germany's own anti-cruelty laws which, I understand, prohibit the killing f healthy animals, regardless of breed? To the Hague World Court if German jurisprudence is unwilling to repeal unreasonable laws? Secondly, could Germans on this list compile all case histories in this matter -- date and location of occurrence, names, addresses of wronged dog owners, supported by written statements? It takes concrete case histories to buttress a case. If German br ed clubs could volunteer,or if this seems too risky in the current climate, perhaps KCs in adjacent countries act as record keepers? This would allow lawyers to make a case.... and perhaps finally draw the desired media attention, rather than the hysteria fanned by tabloid journalism. Just a thought... What do you think?

Sorry, that I do not write my e-mail-adress in this letter. I´m afraid of people, who hate dogs and kill them. I come from Germany and the sad, sad news is, that there are proposals to kill dogs in animal farms -sorry, if I don´t find the correct words, I hope you understand, what I´m trying to say- by the following link you can see the argumentation of "Frau DR. !! Jahn", who wants to kill dogs because they belong to "Cathegoy 1" -Kampfhund (by law). For "Dr. Jahn", it is unimportant, if these animals bite other people or other animals, for Fr. "Dr. Jahn" it is important, that these poor animals belong to the bre d of Pitbull, Stafford and.... Please tell all other people and friends about "Fr. Dr. Jahn in Germany" You can see the documents in German -Im not able to translate it in English- by the link: http://home.t-online.de/home/tierheim-olpe/news.htm THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, sorry to disagree! I am a german citizen, a dog lover and - because people are so hysteric at the moment that they cannot tell a black labrador from the so-called "dangerous breeds" - am suffering not only because I feel for all dog-owners who have a seve e problem at the moment, but personally as well. In my personal opinion the government bans on the dogs are an over-reaction to cover the fact that administration has not been able to act upon the existing laws. On the other hand, a ban of german products by a few dog-lovers abroad will not worry anybody over here. If you want to make an impression, send eMails to all german politicians, ministeries etc and get your friends, politicians, senators and whoever has name to do the same. Ask your embassy for an official protest. Use democratic ways and state your point in a calm, sensible way and don't be over-emotional. Greetings to all dog-lovers abroad Aiga Willmot

In innumerable hessian living rooms to date blameless citizen family tragedies take place at present: Fathers, mothers and children sit, partly loud crying, partly in quiet mourning together, full hopelesness. Between them, is situated or tears usually he trip of the mourning sits: two weeks ago ago still normal, inconspicuous family dog, today as killer machine more stigmatisierter a " combat dog ". AmStaff, Bulli & CO have a heavy lot, and nevertheless they have a large advantage opposite their owne s: they do not know that perhaps they must leave their life. If one inquires in one of these families, one finds only lack of understanding: " as we are to explain to our children, what takes place here? They grew up with our dog, them love it, it are pleased with them if them are merry and troestet them, if they have grief. What do you say to a child, if you are insulted with the daily walk of their formerly nice neighbours as Rabenmutter, from which one would have to remove the children? What do you say to your child, if you are not only threatened insulted bu also? One even already threw with stones after us!" With each view of the four-legged family member new tears break out: " I cannot permit nevertheless that one takes us away our dog! How is he to understand, why he suddenly appears in a tierheim or a catching station? There one will not meet it surely ith love, he is a " Bestie ". Its last days or weeks he in constant mourning will spend, until then any veterinarian by means of syringe its life an end will set." And, in almost any family similarly stated, the appeal follows to the hessian politicians " gives us and our dogs a chance! We are not blameless hessian citizens and voter, we pay our controls, we are not criminal and our dogs are murderers! We are cons ious dog owners and always large value put to educate our dogs to safe companions of our life and the life of our children. Does someone that we would risk it as normal citizens really believe, to endanger health and life of our fellow men? Give us and ur dogs a chance, because we earned it! Leave our family dogs in our families, where it since years our life to divide surely, saved and inconspicuously and by no means aggressively and enrich and where it also a daily their last breath will do - between humans, who are loved it and loved by those her, at their favourite workstation, to the couch. ******* Hessen. We write the year 2000, briefly after beginning of the new time calculation with the addition " day 7 after the publication of the hessian KampfhundeVO " an owner one of Mr. Bouffier as a combat dog of overall kriminalisierten dog make ourselves n the way to the nature test to Frankfurt / Main. The KampfhundeVO did not enter into force yet (this occurs only on memorable 15 July 2000), but the owner as respect for the law citizen and conscious dog owner in decided to meet so fast as possible all ecessary measures in order to be allowed to spend their life further with your dog. So it has at home dog and accessories (muzzle etc..) in the auto packed, their animal lady doctor fetched and drove to Frankfurt. The nerves of the two women are strained and also up to tearing the dog up can the strain clearly feel - however not to understand. And in such a way it is pleased, as it is always pleased, if the trunk flap to enters is opened, finally means this always something beautiful: a walk in interesting environment, with type comrades (other or admits), merry Herumflitzen on dirt roads, merry Plan in brooks or ponds. " which it does not make white, it not hot ", then it says an old proverb. In this case one can say of luck that this here really like that is. The two women, owner and animal lady doctor, have terrible fear. The forthcoming " nature test " by a consultant will decide on living on the dog. And nobody knows so quite, what is n w examined and like. Adventurous stories do not climb around in the past the executed tests and it give a uniform methodology. Already for days, since two fight to straightened dogs of a criminal one in Hamburg a small child killed, the Hundehalterin must prove nerves: each walk in the public means inevitably a Spiessrutenlauf by applied fellow citizens. Insults are at the agen a, sometimes give it even violent encroachments. Will the consultant be influenced also by the unbelievable agitation of the press? All these thoughts circle in the headings of the two women, on their way to Frankfurt. Finally arrived at Frankfurt, they find not equal the correct way to the agreed upon meeting place. Completely desperately and with the nerves at the end they are with the auto close of a delimitation to a people celebration. Two there likewise standing policemen come to the two women and address these whether they could be helpful. The dog owner, meanwhile in tears resolved, explains circumstances: one is arranged with a consultant to the nature test and actually thought, at the correct place for being... The policemen know the agreed upon meeting place - he is situated directly behind the people celebration and the shortest way passes through that people celebration. The policemen regard themselves the two women and the dog and meet the statement that th way would equal a suicide by the people celebration. After some considerations the policemen offer " escort protection " to the still crying dog owner and the meanwhile likewise crying animal lady doctor - fortunately they would have a muzzle thereby. Thus the dog from the auto is gotten, the muzzle is tightened and one goes fearfully on the way by the quantity. At the beginning everything is not so bad, only sorted or other fixed visitor aeugt on the strange prozession. But the further one advances, the more it becomes a Spiessrutenlauf: furious insults of the worst type and the lowest rail must let the women ver itself be issued. Only once an applied man comes on the women and policemen and inquires anxiously, what takes place here: it is the 1. Chairman the local society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and it would give still no handle, since the regulation was not yet valid. This incident does not please the two escorting policemen, but it will remain positive for the two women still for a long time in memory. With soft knees the small group achieves with a completely disturbed and verschuechterten dog with the consultant agreed upon the meeting place and despite all fears and the frightening finally plays passes the dog the nature test without restrictions.

Well we've got really lucky this time!!! We just got back last week from our holliday in Germany, in the Swarzwald. Things started while we were there. And we were there with 2 Bull Terriers, and an Border Collie. The first morning we woke up, the owner o the camping came to ask us if we could move our caravan to another spot, because there were so many complains of people who were afraid of our dogs. Luckely the owner was a real "dog-man" and he tried to explain to the people that there was nothing to be afraid of, but they wouldn't listen to him, so he promised theme to take care of it. He showed us a spot, on the edge of the camping nearby an exit, so we would not have to walk all over the camping with our dogs. And because he saw we had an Border Colli he took the sheep that where there to another place. So thank you very much, for the owner of this camping!!! He could have easely refused us any place at all........ But for now we won't go to Germany again while this terrible thing against all dogs the e is going on!!! To me it looks a lot like the 2e worldwar; not just one dog but emediatly ALL dogs ?!?!?!?! Suppose a child with brown hair and blue eyes would shoot another child in his street, how would the German people then react ?????

I hope these stupid people will soon realize its the owners of the dogs they need to ban. Be nice if we could put the owners down instead of the dogs! Thats a little extreme, but they should atleast be locked up for the rest of their lives. Especially if heir dog is responsible for the death of an innocent human. In my opinion, banning breeds of dogs will eventually wipe out every breed of dog on the planet! Small dogs can attack as well. And, when it happens to those breeds they will also be banned. To m , this is a people problem, not a dog problem. Thanks alot, take care. Cheryl Helton, Hurricane APBTs.

Hello everyone I keep track with the situation and it's getting worse every day. Sensible voices go unheard, the new legislation leaves doors wide open for any communal action. Having a dog is a stigma now and having a dog makes you vulnerable and almost powerless. It's like James Bond "with the license to kill" but it's for real and the average German James Bond IS NOT ABLE to handle his responsibility. And hold your breath - there's worse to come. The proposed nation wide new legislation gives anyone the means to say: "That dog's dangerous, I feel threatened by it or it growled at me." That's enough reason for the police to come and get your dog - becau e it's going to be considered a weapon. And the police has the authority to come into your home (because you're obviously an armed criminal!!!!) and take your dog away on the SUSPICION that your dog's dangerous. The law has changed: GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE!!! In short: Just the fact that your dog is a dog makes it the target of every neighbour who holds a grudge on you. The awful attacks against children have to cease!! Therefore we need to reinforce the use of the legislations. We don't have to threaten average people for it. Thousands of law abiding citizens are now in fear of their neigbours, minor mishaps, anything. And the media are pushing it on, have pushed it over the edge!! R. Berchtold Switzerland

This all say to me that this law is as illogical as it can be. I think perhaps we need laws that look after good breeding from good dogs by good people. This law smels like discrimination of certain breeds, only by the action of a few dogs . It is not because of one Geraman that is steeling something, that all Germans should be in gail.

There is a protest note against that law given to our highest court here in germany, and hopefully that law will be altered again - ( as it has been done n a haste and is absolutely not acceptable- ) - I love animals and protecting them is a quest in my life - but PLEASE - before you write such articles , collect reliable informations - Writing such article that is far away from reality - does not help our dogs - yours faithfully Moonway = Heike Borgard (Duesseldorf/germany) Member of animal care – germany

While I feel for the family of the little boy who was killed, the problem does not lie with the dogs, but the stupid owners who train them to be like that. It is not the nature of the dog just to attack. The stupid owner is the one who should be punished NOT THE DOGS

Hello, A friend of mine (great animal lover) - just sent me your URL - I am a member of german animal protection -and volunteer at our animal shelter here at Duesseldorf - and regretfully I have to tell you that IT IS NOT TRUE !!!- What you are stating here in y u article. It is true that regretfully so many dogs have been brought into the shelters because the owner are afraid of the high taxes and because there is a kind of 'silly panic' about that dogs - but there is NO Mass holocaust here - and there will be a big demonstration next Saturday (over 30.000 dog owners) here in Düsseldorf, that I will attend too. There is a protest note against that law given to our highest court here in germany, and hopefully that law will be altered again - ( as it has been done n a haste and is absolutely not acceptable- ) - I love animals and protecting them is a quest in my life - but PLEASE - before you write such articles , collect reliable informations - Writing such article that is far away from reality - does not help our dogs - yours faithfully Moonway = Heike Borgard (Duesseldorf/germany) Member of animal care – germany

As an owner of an American bulldog I am appauled about what is going on in Germany. Why are they crucifing the dogs, when it is the irresponsible owners who need to pay the price. My Bulldog has been the most human friendly dogs I have ever owned in my li etime. I have owned several other breeds and no other has been so gentle with my children as my bulldog.

Is it really hard to see that when a dog is trained to attack and/or kill, it is of no fault of the dog? Is it the dog's choice? Obviously not. Should the dogs themselves be killed for something they didn't do???? Some justice.

To encourage people to attack others with dogs is only perpetuating more violent behavior. What happens when a dog protects its owner from such attacks? Another vicious dog to be taken away and killed. I will not buy products from a country that allows or encourages abuse of dogs or people!!!!!!!

I believe there are bad dogs as there are bad people but not such a thing as a bad breed or a bad race. My two year old staffordshire bull terrier was viciously attacked once by a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (although somewhat embarrassing to admit) sh ran back to me for protection. It was not the dog's owner fault, it was on a leash, but got away from its owner. Breed specific laws really does not solve any problems. All the best to you in Germany...

The actions of the German government make them liable for the injuries to those innocent people and/or their dogs attacked by hyterical fools because of the government's stupid, over-reactive response to a tragedy.

Dear american dog friends! I am very happy to see, that you show solidarity with all dog friends in germany. Unfortunately is all true, what you have written. Many germans fight against these stupid laws. But many germans discover their own little nazi again. They demand the holocaust for many breeds. In this days I'm very ashamed, to be a german. The last time, when I was so ashamed was, as I visited the former nazi concentration camp Buchenwald. There I saw pictures of dead bodys. Now I must see pictures of dead dogs. But is it the right way, when you demand the boycott for german goods? We need enlightenment for our people and goverment. Tell them your experience with such dogs. And at last: many thanks for your support, together we are strong Thomas

The UK DDA is ridiculous enough and has caused much suffering for both Dogs and their owners. Acts like this just do not work. The animals that attack are not of a specific breed but they often have a specific breed of owner. Deal with every case as an in ividual. Killing breeds will solve nothing.

Hallo! I'm from germany. Let me tell you a little story that had happened last week when I took my Foxterrier for a walk. Last Saturday I took my dog for a walk, after an hour or so, a man came out of his garage with a baseballbat in his hands and want to hurt m dog. I tried to talk to the man, but it was senseless, so i had to run away with my dog. The people are so afraid, that they see in pit bull in every dog. In my opinion our government sleept for many years and after this terrible "accident" they want to olve the problem in a fast way, but as you can see in france, this is impossible

This is just one example of many things, that goes on. :-( there are no happy days in this country today..

I have people where I live that are willing to take dogs in the U.S. but they don't know who to contact. Does anyone know? Also, does anyone know where donations might be sent to help pay to get these poor dogs to safe countries? I'm sick about this!

Hope this helps to better understand. Gleaned from the German Press: (1) there appears to be NO National Dog Law, rather a proliferation of new dog keeping regulations at the city and regional level. i.e., Berlin has a different version from Hamburg or B varia, etc. (2) Only Berlin seems to have rushed emergency enactment of its new regulations after a 12 yr old girl was bitten by a pitbull on way to school. Other jurisdictions have 8/1, 8/15, etc. enactment deadlines for their new laws, some are not sur if they can even enforce the new laws and may stick by the old. (3) Not all versions include hight and weight definitions of what makes a dangerous dog. (4) some laws are to be envorce by armed policy, some by civilians, some by mixed teams of both. Ge erally, Police is opporsed to dog patrol duty, citing lack of personnel, funds, equipment and diversion for more important crime control work. (Berlin Police also cited need for "bite resistant pants" they want issued before taking on this task.) (5) ve erinarians are generally opposed to new law requiring muzzling of potentially dangerous dogs, stating that it would encourage aggression rather than curb it in animals who have heretofore shown no such tendencies. Vets also report turning away frightened owners of the target breeds who would rather have their dogs peacefully euthanized than exposed to mob violence and torture. NOTE: THEY ALSO STATE A GERMAN LAW AGAINST KILLING HEALTHY DOGS UNDER THEIR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS STATUTES. (6) The chief "dog home" operator in Hamburg has severed ties with the City government and will no longer accept any of the "outlaw" breeds so as to not be in a position where he would have to become part of a killing spree as these types of dogs are aban oned by panicky owners or surrendered because of the high costs involved in keeping them unde r the new laws. He estimates that in Hamburg alone this might involve 1000 to 2000 dogs whose blood he will not have on his hands. (7) the current hysteria is t e direct result of sensationalized media coverage of bite cases, in particular one in Cologne, one in Berlin and the fatal case in Hamburg. This sells papers and gives politifcians an excuse to exert power. (8) The "Greens" are particularly vociferous n pushing anti-dog measures through their elected reps in Govt. Their professed goal is to ban all dogs from every park and public street, etc. and failing that, to have every dog muzzled and leashed, while imposing enormous financial burdens on dog owner through licensing, permts and fines. (9) All affected breeds are characterized as "Kampfhunde" (fighting dogs) to futher whip up public fear and antagonism. The following control measures are to be enacted: Both dogs in these breeds and their owners m st pass tests such as -- temperament tests conducted by state veterinarians. If a dog passes, it gets a green "Plakette" (insignia) to wear on the collar to indicate he's declared "safe". His owner must pass a criminal background check before he gets the plakette, can have no cruelty to animals, drug or other convictions. Each plakette costs 350 DM, the temperament test is another 100 DM, the vet gets 60 DM for his services. The total cost for a properly tested, licensed, leashed and muzzled "Kampfhund" s estiamted to be in the 1500 DM range, any violations carry fines up to 10,000 DM. (Sorry, don't have current conersion rates on hand.) Clearly, the real crime is the hatred unleashed by irresponsible media handling of a sad experience, due to one 23 yr old man's need for what he described as "only a status symbol and weapon" not a fighting dog. In an atmosphere of have vs. have-not, Eas vs. West Berliner, native born vs. immigrant or "guest worker", this was all the exuse for disgruntled elements in society to vent their frustrations on the next creature "down" from their level. (My apologies to all dogs!) Add power hungry politicians, a bureaucracy eager for all the new licensing and fine monies, and == yes, some irresponsible dog owners who even now refuse to put a leash on their dogs when out in public or pick up after them, and you have a volatile mix that will explode at the least rovocation and hurt those least deserving of condemnation: caring, loving pet owners who do not permit their pets to be a nuisance. It is for them that the German Government must be sent a loud message from the rest of the civilized world before there i more violence, oppression and destruction of the innocent victims of this rage. Sorry this took much space -- but I hope it helps in understanding what is going on right now -- and don't think for a mimute it couldm't happen here!

Hello, A friend of mine (great animal lover) - just sent me your URL - I am a member of german animal protection -and volunteer at our animal shelter here at Duesseldorf - and regretfully I have to tell you that IT IS NOT TRUE !!!- What you are stating here in y u article. It is true that regretfully so many dogs have been brought into the shelters because the owner are afraid of the high taxes and because there is a kind of 'silly panic' about that dogs - but there is NO Mass holocaust here - and there will be a big demonstration next Saturday (over 30.000 dog owners) here in Düsseldorf, that I will attend too. There is a protest note against that law given to our highest court here in germany, and hopefully that law will be altered again - ( as it has been done n a haste and is absolutely not acceptable- ) - I love animals and protecting them is a quest in my life - but PLEASE - before you write such articles , collect reliable informations - Writing such article that is far away from reality - does not help our dogs - yours faithfully Moonway = Heike Borgard (Duesseldorf/germany) Member of animal care – germany

I believe there are bad dogs as there are bad people but not such a thing as a bad breed or a bad race. My two year old staffordshire bull terrier was viciously attacked once by a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (although somewhat embarrassing to admit) sh ran back to me for protection. It was not the dog's owner fault, it was on a leash, but got away from its owner. Breed specific laws really does not solve any problems. All the best to you in Germany...

The actions of the German government make them liable for the injuries to those innocent people and/or their dogs attacked by hyterical fools because of the government's stupid, over-reactive response to a tragedy.

Dear american dog friends! I am very happy to see, that you show solidarity with all dog friends in germany. Unfortunately is all true, what you have written. Many germans fight against these stupid laws. But many germans discover their own little nazi again. They demand the holocaust for many breeds. In this days I'm very ashamed, to be a german. The last time, when I was so ashamed was, as I visited the former nazi concentration camp Buchenwald. There I saw pictures of dead bodys. Now I must see pictures of dead dogs. But is it the right way, when you demand the boycott for german goods? We need enlightenment for our people and goverment. Tell them your experience with such dogs. And at last: many thanks for your support, together we are strong Thomas

The UK DDA is ridiculous enough and has caused much suffering for both Dogs and their owners. Acts like this just do not work. The animals that attack are not of a specific breed but they often have a specific breed of owner. Deal with every case as an in ividual. Killing breeds will solve nothing.

Hallo! I'm from germany. Let me tell you a little story that had happened last week when I took my Foxterrier for a walk. Last Saturday I took my dog for a walk, after an hour or so, a man came out of his garage with a baseballbat in his hands and want to hurt m dog. I tried to talk to the man, but it was senseless, so i had to run away with my dog. The people are so afraid, that they see in pit bull in every dog. In my opinion our government sleept for many years and after this terrible "accident" they want to olve the problem in a fast way, but as you can see in france, this is impossible

I have people where I live that are willing to take dogs in the U.S. but they don't know who to contact. Does anyone know? Also, does anyone know where donations might be sent to help pay to get these poor dogs to safe countries? I'm sick about this!

Hope this helps to better understand. Gleaned from the German Press: (1) there appears to be NO National Dog Law, rather a proliferation of new dog keeping regulations at the city and regional level. i.e., Berlin has a different version from Hamburg or B varia, etc. (2) Only Berlin seems to have rushed emergency enactment of its new regulations after a 12 yr old girl was bitten by a pitbull on way to school. Other jurisdictions have 8/1, 8/15, etc. enactment deadlines for their new laws, some are not sur if they can even enforce the new laws and may stick by the old. (3) Not all versions include hight and weight definitions of what makes a dangerous dog. (4) some laws are to be envorce by armed policy, some by civilians, some by mixed teams of both. Ge erally, Police is opporsed to dog patrol duty, citing lack of personnel, funds, equipment and diversion for more important crime control work. (Berlin Police also cited need for "bite resistant pants" they want issued before taking on this task.) (5) ve erinarians are generally opposed to new law requiring muzzling of potentially dangerous dogs, stating that it would encourage aggression rather than curb it in animals who have heretofore shown no such tendencies. Vets also report turning away frightened owners of the target breeds who would rather have their dogs peacefully euthanized than exposed to mob violence and torture. NOTE: THEY ALSO STATE A GERMAN LAW AGAINST KILLING HEALTHY DOGS UNDER THEIR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS STATUTES. (6) The chief "dog home" operator in Hamburg has severed ties with the City government and will no longer accept any of the "outlaw" breeds so as to not be in a position where he would have to become part of a killing spree as these types of dogs are aban oned by panicky owners or surrendered because of the high costs involved in keeping them unde r the new laws. He estimates that in Hamburg alone this might involve 1000 to 2000 dogs whose blood he will not have on his hands. (7) the current hysteria is t e direct result of sensationalized media coverage of bite cases, in particular one in Cologne, one in Berlin and the fatal case in Hamburg. This sells papers and gives politifcians an excuse to exert power. (8) The "Greens" are particularly vociferous n pushing anti-dog measures through their elected reps in Govt. Their professed goal is to ban all dogs from every park and public street, etc. and failing that, to have every dog muzzled and leashed, while imposing enormous financial burdens on dog owner through licensing, permts and fines. (9) All affected breeds are characterized as "Kampfhunde" (fighting dogs) to futher whip up public fear and antagonism. The following control measures are to be enacted: Both dogs in these breeds and their owners m st pass tests such as -- temperament tests conducted by state veterinarians. If a dog passes, it gets a green "Plakette" (insignia) to wear on the collar to indicate he's declared "safe". His owner must pass a criminal background check before he gets the plakette, can have no cruelty to animals, drug or other convictions. Each plakette costs 350 DM, the temperament test is another 100 DM, the vet gets 60 DM for his services. The total cost for a properly tested, licensed, leashed and muzzled "Kampfhund" s estiamted to be in the 1500 DM range, any violations carry fines up to 10,000 DM. (Sorry, don't have current conersion rates on hand.) Clearly, the real crime is the hatred unleashed by irresponsible media handling of a sad experience, due to one 23 yr old man's need for what he described as "only a status symbol and weapon" not a fighting dog. In an atmosphere of have vs. have-not, Eas vs. West Berliner, native born vs. immigrant or "guest worker", this was all the exuse for disgruntled elements in society to vent their frustrations on the next creature "down" from their level. (My apologies to all dogs!) Add power hungry politicians, a bureaucracy eager for all the new licensing and fine monies, and == yes, some irresponsible dog owners who even now refuse to put a leash on their dogs when out in public or pick up after them, and you have a volatile mix that will explode at the least rovocation and hurt those least deserving of condemnation: caring, loving pet owners who do not permit their pets to be a nuisance. It is for them that the German Government must be sent a loud message from the rest of the civilized world before there i more violence, oppression and destruction of the innocent victims of this rage. Sorry this took much space -- but I hope it helps in understanding what is going on right now -- and don't think for a mimute it couldm't happen here!

I own 3 pit-bulls. All of them are very friendly and loyal dogs. I did not register my oldest female until she had her first litter of pups;because here in louisiana they have been talking about banning this beautiful,loyal breed. Any information on preventing the ban or in helping Germany remove their ban would be much appreciated.

its starts with Breeding...and continues with owners/handlers.....The dogs will learn or not learn whats exeptable....its up to the Breeder to breed for good disposition...the handler/owner to continue good training practice. The recent "witch hunt (dogs)" reflects VERY badly on society as a whole....where is the true aggression? aktions /aggressive /bad behavior that is shown 100 times more BY HUMANS right now. Does anyone even remember where and how it started?....BY ONE BAD HANDLER/DERELICT that trained his dog for attack....the PUNISHMENT SHOULD FALL ON THAT PERSON or persons. the goverment has to STOP punishing the wrong people and the wrong dogs. STOP STOP STOP THE INSANITY AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE THINK!!!!!!!!!! Sincerely concered about the mass hysteria and ugliness.....most people will use this issue for their natural aggression/akting up and out to have an official "excuse"...NOT WITH ME!!!!! Calif. has "roadrage" right now...just another excuse for aggression and idiocy...at least in Calif. its "just" a label...in Germany they pass Ordinances for peoples sorry behavior? Ops...did I mention I am German born as well...grew up in Germany when people still had common sense...WHAT's happening? Where is the national pride on "cool" thinking? praktical action? At least face the core problem...which is BAD handlers/owners very ashamed for MANY of my country"men" Sigrid Cargile

I vehemently protest the archaic and draconian methods implemented by the German government against all dogs taller than knee-height, as many taller dogs are loving, gentle and protective companions to children and the elderly. Indeed, many acts of heroi m have been documented when dogs save their owners from maiming or death in accidents, fire, drownings, etc. I support the implementation of sanctions against the German Government until such time as the politicians regain their perspective on this issu and act against irresponsible owners and breeders, and not the innocent animal; who is, after all, only what Man has made him.

Consider: The kind of government that would mandate the murder of pet dogs just because those pets are of a certain breed. The kind of government that would suggest those owners and their pets be attacked? And finally, the kind of people who would attack those owners and their pets? Is the German government still corrupt? Do the German people still follow the dictates of their government without using their own intellect and conscience? The implications of this situation go far beyond the borders of Germany. Dog Holocaust, indeed. It offends me greatly, is intolerable and must be stopped.

I have to beg pardon now to my grandfathers and grandmothers because I always asked them: how could that happen, how come you never did anything against Hitler and his companions? You should have recognized from the start! ! My god, I now understand. I feel like living in the 4. Reich!!!! I'm afraid of walking down the street with my dog, because I'm always expecting to be attacked by dangerous dog-hating peope, who now believe they got the waaranty by our government to att ck dog-owners! There are a lot of examples to express the mass-hystery here. Even children get attacked when walking around with their beloved pet. And if you want to see how the dog-holocaust works, look at www. the 4. Reich!!!! I'm afraid of walking dow the street with my dog, because I'm always expecting to be attacked by dangerous dog-hating peope, who now believe they got the waaranty by our government to att ck dog-owners!

And if you want to see how the dog-holocaust works, look at www.bullterier-in-not.de.(Fotos vom Massenmord) There you can see pictures of dogs. murdered last days. Please, all dog lovers in the world, attack the german government by sending letters, faxes, emails. Please, don't buy any german products. I want my country to be blamed in the face of the whole w rld! Now one should believe, that the germans have changed in the las 55 years. the mass-mob is still there waiting to hunt whoever seems to be different. they start with dogs, how far will they go???? Hitlers "race-ideology" is now part of the german law If there are bad and good races of animals fund in a german law, don't you think they will find good and bad human races next??? I'm really afraid of my people now and I ask the world, don't look away from that new germany, don't ignore the beginnings ag in. Even Hitler showed the world a nice face before he started holocaust.

I got word of the situation with dogs in Germany on a list I am on, and I am appalled. I agree with a lady who posted to the this book. I am a GSD fancier, and I also had the greatest respect for a country where to be shown, a dog had to have a working itle of some type. Now, I am not so sure. I understand that the German People are a very opinionated people, but THIS IS GOING TOO FAR!! I own a GSD, and a Great Pyrenees, which is on that list, and I am disgusted with the whole situation. If they wi l do that over there, how much longer will it be before the same things are instituted here? We are already seeing the prelude. Look! See how our freedoms are being taken away from us, both in Europe and in the rest of the world. Do what you can. If lived in Germany right now, I would be finding myself a new country to live in. There's no way I would give up my Pyr because the government thinks it is a threat to the "common good". I hope that there is something done soon to curb the excesses of Ge man Governmental control.

I notice that the dogs with the largest numbers of reported bites (German Shepherd and German Shepherd crosses) are not listed as dangerous. What, are they Aryan? Isn't this the way the black shirts started 60 years ago? Isolate one group of people (it as jews, gypsies and queers last time, this time it is dog owners) and make them responsible for all the evil things happening. With the reunification and the massive clean-up required in the former East Germany, Germany has gone from a rich nation to a poor one. Someone is obviously to blame. Must be those damn dog owners. My sympathy is only for the dogs. You people allowed it to happen to yourselves. Just like last time. Jack Mowery Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Hmmm when will the German government learn?

I think it is not the dogs faults but rather the irresponsibility of the owners. Any dog can bite as they all have teeth, for that matter any animal including humans can bite. If they are teaching these poor animals to act in this manner, than they will a t this way, and it is the owners that should be punished not every dog of this type.

I am greatly disappointed in your countries recent atrocities against Molosser Canines. Granted what happened at the school yard is a great tragedy that should have never happened, but by looking at the circumstances its painfully obvious that the owners of this dog are clearly at fault. I'm quite sure by now you are aware of the statistics of dog bites of Molossers as compared to other breeds of dogs like the great GSD and Rottweiler of your country. It's clear that the Laws being passed are prejudicia and inflamed by passion and grief over the tragedy. If history has taught us anything it should be that extermination of a species is not an option for a better world. The problems with bad people owning dogs can be handled through legislation. Also, ith the technology of the new millennium there are ways to register dogs to a specific owner without forgery. This might be costly to the owners, but that could also be a benefit to make sure the dogs don't end up in the wrong hands. I know its much eas er to exterminate the dogs than to find a real solution to the problem, but that shouldn't stop your country from acting like a civilized nation and treating their law abiding citizens rights with respect. I will be boycotting all German goods and servic s until the killing of your citizens pets is stopped and a real solution is found.
