I
started this website about 6 years ago when I entered the world
of Breed Specific Legislation (BSL). While we have had pit
bulls in the family for about 8 years, like many owners, we had
no idea what BSL was until it came knocking on our door.
I
was thrown into a large fight to keep my rights to own the dog
of my choice, and to educate people about dog breeds and good
dangerous dog laws that are non breed specific. When I started
doing research on BSL, I found there wasn't a lot of solid
information available on the internet-- ideas for fighting BSL,
reliable research, etc. So the idea of Understand-a-bull was
born. I started gathering information, writing pages on how to
fight BSL, listing resources available, adding links to
information, etc. Soon I had a website that has continued to
grow over the years and will until there isn't a need for the
site.
While
this site is geared towards the bully breeds because that is my
breed of choice, we fight BSL regardless of breed. Pit Bulls
are NOT the only breed affected by BSL
<see a list>.
