In Columbia, Maryland, the Heatherfield Board of Directors drafted a resolution to ban the keeping of pit bulls in any of the privately owned condos. This is the equivalent of breed specific legislation. The individuals signing this petition are urging the Heatherfield Board to protect ownership rights of domestic animals and ensure no restrictions by specific breed. Maryland law recognized earlier this year that pit bulls are not considered "inherently dangerous" and all dog owners are liable for their dog's injuries regardless of breed. The new law further removes liability from landlords, unless the landlord knew the particular dog was actually dangerous. The residents of Heatherfield Community need your help to stop the Board's attempt to ban pit bulls. To the Board, please drop the resolution and uphold your residents constitutional rights!
