Why won't Mr. Bryant help me?

In the past few years, I have been bitten, or attempted to be bitten by, at least two dogs. I had a dog lunge at my face, close enough I felt it's breath. I had to put myself between my sister (who lost half her lip and had to have plastic surgery due to a bite as a child) and a dog wondering a bike trail. A couple of times. I was chased by two large dogs who came off of thier property after me while I was rollerblading (and in the mean time broke a personal record for speed...and heart rate). I have had to stare down dogs I have met who were aggressive, and fortunatly, because I did not show fear, I won before they attacked, or was able to back out of the situation.

None of these were pitbulls. I have never had a pitbull attack me, or try to hurt me, or even be aggressive towards me. I'm sure there are those that have done that, but not to me. All of my stories fit what Michael Bryant wants to protect me from, except for one fact:they weren't pitbulls. And because of that, they would not have been prevented. Ironically, because my own beloved dog is a pitbull, his bill affects me only one way--negatively.

---------------------------------

I'm thinking of sending this in an e-mail to a few MPPs, when I get the chance this weekend. (Don't want to send from my work e-mail). Just want to know what you think, and if any other pitbull owners have interesting stories of experiences with dogs that are similar to my own?
