It has been reported that Parma residents will soon be visited by door-to-door canvassers sent by the ASCPA and they will be in Parma until election day. These canvassers are professional animal activists from out of state accompanied by non-local volunteers and they will tell a feel-good story about “fairness and non-discrimination,” but will fail to mention recent violent pit bull attacks in Cleveland, Brook Park, North Olmsted, Fairview Park, Avon Lake and Akron.

These paid advocates have no interest in public safety, only in protecting their own income stream.

Those paid by the ASPCA to knock on your door will not tell you that the most common victim of a pit bull attack is someone else’s pet or the neighbor’s child. Pit bull attacks change lives. I know this from experience -- I’m a pit bull attack survivor.

To protect your own pets and families, vote NO on Issue 10. Please take the time to vote on May 7. The safety of YOUR pets and YOUR children depends on it.
