    BSL poem
    Heard quite a few things about breed specific the last few day on this site so I wrote a poem. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on it:

    Loyal, loving and unjudging
    Might I add never grudging
    Always there
    To help you through despair

    Through thick in thin
    They will and always have been
    Able to make you grin

    These are our dogs
    Our partners on jogs
    Our family, our friends
    And without them our world would be at an end

    But you see there is a problem
    Certain breeds are being eliminated
    Because those who are ignorant enough to have discriminated

    And families are being broken
    Those responsable are outspoken
    And countless owners must sit and watch a there dogs bleed
    Solely due there breed

    But there is still hope
    It's time to climb over this slope
    If we all stand
    Against this ban

    I'll be waiting for BSL
    And when it comes
    I'll raise all hell
    Because if there is 1 word my dog will never hear from me its Farewell

    I love your dog picture! Your poem is very sincere, and shows how much love and respect you have for dogs, and the breeds that are targeted, just because their breed is misunderstood, or destined to be put to death just because they were born that breed. I understood your poem, and most people would feel the compassion, but it needs a little work on a couple of words..

    "And countless owners must sit and watch a [should be as] there [should be their] dogs bleed
    Solely due there [should be their] breed

    What is BSL?

    I think those should be looked at, let me know what you think?

    I raised dogs all my life, on our family farm. I had the pleasure of breeding, training, and finding loving homes for German Shepherds, Akita, Chow Chow, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Pit Bulls, American Bulldog, Boxers, Collies, Siberian Husky, Labradors, Golden Retriever, Poodles, and any and all strays we encountered! Aaaah alas.. we gave them all the best chance with their training at having a good loving home!

    Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful and very well written. I am strongly against BSL. No being should be discriminated against for crimes they never committed. BSL is immoral, and in my opinion unconstitutional.

    Thanks you guys but I wrote this a long time ago. chicagostarbaby, when writing poems I try not to think about the grammar, there are a few typos, but while writing I do it only to ''speak'' the words I am unable to outloud.

    I understand. Sometimes I find it a lot easier to express myself with the written word. Half of the time something gets lost in translation when I try saying them out loud.
