I'm searching for an apartment right now, but am finding it extremely difficult because of my dog. I have an very friendly dog that is great with people of any age, but he is also a rottweiler, and because of their bad reputation, most insurance companies are allowed to turn down people from owning any rottweiler, no matter what temperment, from living on the property that they insure.
I think it is wrong for them to be able to do that, and is just another form of discrimination. I believe that there are no bad breeds, just bad owners. It is never a dogs fault when they are aggressive, because they are all subject to their environment. They depend on humans for everything, and when they have a bad life, they have no way of running away and finding a better one. I believe it's always the owners fault when a dog hurts another animal or human, and that no matter what size a dog is, they still need to be in complete control, and never even get the chance to hurt a person or animal.
I want to try to make a pettition of some sort to stop the discrimination against "bad" breeds such as rottweiler, pit bulls, and german shepard dogs. And make people in the US realize that they need to start to focus on the bad owners instead of the poor dogs who are forced to live under bad ownership.
The problem is that I don't know where I would start. I know of a web site where I can start a pettition, but I'm not the greatest writer, and I don't know how I would actually make my pettition seen by the government at least in my town, if not my state. Can someone point me in the right direction? (link)

Maybe you could start your own website, or calling people, or just find another person SOMEWHERE in your country who strongly feels the same as you. Bring it up with some other 'bad dog' owners. Your bound to find someone who feels the same, and then you can work together to fight for the cause. good luck..

Yes, at my college there is a website focusing on animals, and most of the people that go to it agree with me, I am just not sure about who I would call to start something. I've never been much of a political person.
