Independence, Let’s Get Rid of the Pit Bull Ban!

For more than 15 years, dogs who resemble “pit bulls” haven’t been allowed in Independence, Missouri. This discriminatory law ignores the fact that all dogs, like people, are unique, and their looks don’t dictate their behavior.

Breed bans are not effective at improving public safety—in fact, many neighboring cities have already reckoned with this mistake and overturned their pit bull bans. It’s time for Independence to do the same.

You can help! Join the “Pit Crew,” our team of local volunteers working to end breed-specific legislation (BSL). We’ll follow up with all the tools you’ll need to fight breed discrimination in your city.
