Colleen Lynn looking for your money to do more deadly harm to innocent dogs: The end-of-the-year is swiftly approaching. The busiest time for DogsBite.org is December through April as we prepare the final annual dog bite fatality statistics and brace for the 2015 legislative session. In 2014, six states were faced with legislation that would prohibit cities from enacting breed-specific laws. Two states (33%) passed this legislation after aggressive lobbying by animal groups. Four states (67%) rejected it, two of which DogsBite.org was actively involved with, Washington and Missouri.1 With your support we can fight MORE critical state legislative battles in 2015! In 2014, our investigative research broke original news is at least two U.S. dog bite fatalities. We knew that after a 130-pound family pit bull savagely killed a little girl -- stopping only after police fired 13 bullets into it -- that there was far more to the story. Within a few hours of the attack being reported, we identified the name of the kennel and its Facebook page (which only remained in Google Cache) along with the owners Instagram page, showing the public the designer XXL pit bull breeding trend. In October, after the Dodge County Sheriffs Office stonewalled local media after a fatal dog attack, we were again able to quickly locate the dog owners business, Platinum K9 Protection - Social Protection Dogs with a Switch and that he was a former trainer at a celebrity kennel depicted in the popular 2013 National Geographic Wild TV series, Alpha Dogs. We enlisted the help of a Dutch animal behaviorist as well. The public deserves to know that protection dogs with a switch are being marketed to families with children. Help us keep breaking original news! We cant do it without your support! 2014 showed that the momentum is on OUR SIDE. We already noted the historic Aurora vote -- 64% voted to keep their pit bull ban, and the TIME Magazine article. Another media victory was the Modesto Bees bold editorial after four pit bulls killed a man. The writer delivered a whopping follow up article too, stating: Many readers blasted the websites and studies we quoted. A few recommended others, but we found those studies were often paid for by groups trying to rehabilitate the image of the breed.2 Please do not let our momentum stop! Currently we have 17 people who are active monthly PayPal givers. If we could grow this number to 200 -- of supporters giving $10 on a monthly basis -- we would not need desperate end-of-year pleas to our readers. With your support we can continue to GAIN MOMENTUM. With your support we can continue to PUSH BACK on the aggressive pit bull lobby as we work to achieve a SAFER nation that all of us and our children and grandparents deserve.
