Responding to the petition "Breed-Specific Legislation Is a Bad Idea", the White House responded "We don't support breed-specific legislation -- research shows that bans on certain types of dogs are largely ineffective and often a waste of public resources"
We agree and now direct the President's attention to military base housing policies that ban certain dogs just because of their appearance. These policies force families to give up their pets or seek less advantageous housing off-base. These policies break up families and cause the deaths of thousands of innocent dogs.
We petition the President to direct his Secretary of Defense to develop military base housing policies that do not ban dogs based on appearance, and that protect people from dangerous dogs based solely on behavior.
