Today's Paw Prints Radio Interview

I got the good fortune to get to spend 30 minutes today on Paw Prints radio.  We got a chance to talk about Kansas City Dog Advocates' upcoming Roverlution/Pit Bull Awareness Day event on October 23 (noon-5 at Mill Creek Park on the plaza), and why helping pit bulls is going to be essential for us to get to no kill as a community.  This then turned into a long conversation about breed specific legislation in communities and how it is leading to dogs of all breeds dying in our shelters, costing cities unneccesary money, and how several metro area cities (including Topeka) have gotten rid of their long-standing breed-specific policies and replaced them with good, behavior-based laws.

We then also discussed the importance of getting involved in politics, and getting good candidates in office and how Kansas City Dog Advocates is tracking politician's views on animal-related topics.

So come on out to our Roverlution Adoption event and celebrating our awesome shelter dogs. And then, after the event, head over to the Velvet Dog (400 E. 31st Street) at 7:00pm ('til 3 am) for the Pin Ups for Pit Bulls Midwest Calendar unveiling in a charity event for the fine folks at the Game Dog Guardian.  Lionidas the Amazing 3-legged dog will be there (for awhile at least) along with some of of the Pin Ups girls. Should be a great time on all fronts.

If you missed the interview, you can listen to here (it's the October 14th show).  And thanks to Stacy and Dale for allowing me to come on their show (even though I confess that my radio skills are, um, well, there's a reason I write a blog instead of do radio).

Brent, I am listening to your interview right now -- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS!! And thank you for posting our flyer on your blog -- it looks so beautiful and exciting!

Your post is awesome as is your interview, and all we doggie and kitty cat lovers appreciate all you are doing! GREAT JOB!

I ESPECIALLY appreciate you calling BSL 'outdated'. It seems everyone wanted to jump on the bandwagon against American Pit Bull Terriers when that was 'the thing to do'. We need to keep driving home the point that this is no longer the 'thing to do' and that it is passe and outdated. LIke heck, only cave people support BSL....

THANK YOU!

[Becky]

and sorry: I think our final flyer says, 'Adoptable bullies and other breeds.' Like the sound of that a little better. I'll have to check our flyer in KCDA, OK?
