Ernest Dempsey — Some people never get over their fears and continue to suffer all their lives because of an accident that struck them 
at some time in their past. One such woman, who is now making it an agenda to perpetuate the fear and spread it to others, is Sahar Biniaz – the recently crowned Miss Universe Canada who is going to contest on behalf of Canada in the coming Miss Universe pageant in December this year. Biniaz, who is an immigrant from Iran, is advocating a ban on pit bulls in the province of British Columbia (BC) because a pit bull bit her when she was 14.
The Vancouver Sun reported that Sahar Biniaz, now 26, wants the provincial government of BC to impose a ban on adopting a pit bull, or at least making it a law for pit bulls to be kept muzzled and on leash all the time. Biniaz is said to have already spoken to a local councilor Alan Campbell about it and he is ready to bring up the suggestion of ban on pit bulls in the next meeting of the council.
As the above mention papers reports, Biniaz was attacked by a pit bull her family brought home where she and the dog had eye contact. She says the dog suddenly attacked her and she doesn’t know what caused “it” to attack her, given the dog came from a “really nice environment”. Since she also heard of another case of pit bull attack, she now is using her “voice” as a beauty contest winner and would-be Miss Universe contestant to create “awareness” against pit bulls.
The question here is whether Biniaz is acting rationally out of concern for people, or is she manifesting her fear of the dog because of a past incident? In either case, her demand comes by following her own experience – a bad experience with a dog, and she says she hears of such incidents around her. But does that mean that she should start projecting her fears over the entire province of British Columbia? If there are people with bad experiences with pit bulls, there are so many who honor their pit bulls as most loyal, loving family members and guardians of the home. It is truly unreasonable of Biniaz and like-minded people to join the campaign against the widely victimized breed of pit bulls, which, according to canine experts, are more loving and mush less vicious than many other dog breeds.
Interestingly, Biniaz’s story says that the pit bull that bit her was adopted by the family from a breeder. But she is not using her “voice” against the practice of excessive breeding, which is the real cause of pit bull sufferings in many parts of the world. Instead, she wants to ban all pit bulls or keep them as prisoners in chain all time. With this attitude of Miss Biniaz, dog lovers and animal rights advocates at least will not like to see her crowned as Miss Universe because she is adding fuel to the fire against the victimized breed of pit bulls that continue saving human lives and endangering their own lives in doing so. For if only bad experiences count, then even a woman who gets raped will be justified in demanding a ban on all men, or the mother of a child killed in a car accident will be justified in asking for banning all cars. But how much sense that makes?
Can we please not have people like this in high profile positions?the last thing we need is someone like this spreading their stupidity around and causing fear.take this womans crown!
Amen Robin I am sorry this happened to her but its not every pitbulls fault why do are people so quick to jump on any kind of hate waggon?
Why are we taking this woman’s word for what happened? Where is the documentation? Was it reported? Where is the dog now? Too many questions.. this person is far from “high profile”! More often it’s people with a mediocre level of celebrity that use the word “pit bull,” to get attention for themselves. If you want a documented case of THAT just read quotes from Michael Bryant the AG that was responsible for the “pit bull” ban in Ontario.. SEVEN YRS LATER he has now admitted to at least “50 percent” ego that motivated him to make a law killing innocent dogs. This beauty queen should stick to whatever it is she does.
IF she was bitten,I wonder what she did to the dog? She is clearly a nasty person so very likely that if she was bitten she was being cruel to the dog and got what she deserved
Was the dog that bit her really a pit bull. Bully breeds get the blame for a lot of breeds of dogs. And these type laws make it possible for any idiot in “power” to declare ANY dog a put bull and have it killed.
I agree that we shouldn’t ban the entire breed BUT everyone should really take a step back from being so defensive and realize pitbulls ARE slightly scarier dogs. Not saying all of them (before anyone jumps down my throat) but when you hear of dog attacks its more pitbulls than not. And its not their fault its imbedded into them, because that is what they were bred to do a long time ago. So the muzzle thing isn’t a bad idea…however I highly disagree with banning them. None would have homes and thats way more wrong.
The only reason you hear about only pit bulls biting is because that sells newspapers. My chihuahua would bite every stranger that comes into the house but that only gets a snicker and doesn’t sell papers. What about the labs, german shepherds, cocker spaniels, and any other breed that has ever bitten a person? No mention of those attacks because ‘pits’ are the ones to hate right now.
My daughter has a rescue pit that is a wonderful dog and everyone who meets him loves him. Attacking isn’t imbedded into them, but carelessness is obviously the problem of far too many owners. They don’t socialize and train their animals properly.
I bet you wouldn’t know a pit bull if it bit you on the ass. They were not bred a long time ago to be aggressive. They were bred to be Very loyal and to do what their human asks them to do. You know Hellen Kellers dog was a pit bull. In years past they were called nanny dogs because they were so good with and protective of kids.
Are you kidding me..
this person gets bit as a child and is advocating the demise of all dogs of the same breed…Narrow minded imbecile …
I agree-let’s look at some reason…she was bitten by one dog. There are several billion dogs on earth, many are pits. But only one bit her. Therefore, mathematically her position is completely irrational. Not that I expect reason or rationality from beauty pageant contestants. That’s been proven in questions regarding gay marriage, and many other ‘issues.’ I guess the dog bite didn’t do much damage, considering she is a pageant winner based on her looks.
What an idiot! Why should anyone listen to one who only wants to look pretty! She needs to be educated obviously she is not! She needs to put her money where her mouth is and help some animals out instead of trying to hurt them!
i AGREE , SHES AN IDIOT. MAYBE SHES RELATED TO ADOLF HILTER.
Oh my God! You compare her views to support for Hitler!! You are not only a moron but do a horrid disservice to Jews worldwide. I have the unfortunate distinction of having been involved in an unprovoked pit bull attack. All dogs can bite but few can kill. I wish you the horror of experiencing the same! See how HugaBull they are then when you are fighting for your life, you freaking idiot!
You are the idiot.
It is SO wrong to judge a breed by one accident. Using your title for wrong is just another reason I don’t watch pageants. Don’t judge the breed judge the owner.
Sounds like a troublemaker to me.Clearly not genuinely concerned for anyone else and jumping on the bandwagon because pit bulls are an easy target(no pun intended)She also wears fur so clearly has no qualms about being cruel to animals in general
I cannot believe you are taking this stand. You cannot condemn the entire breed for the behavior of a few dogs who were subjected to poor and cruel training and handling by human owners. The dogs in themselves are not the problem its the owners. Perhaps I could take a similar stance…I have known some beauty contestants and winners who were airheads and self centered bimbos….Does that apply to all? Of course not, so why take the same logic to these dogs.
You have a fear….Get counseling. Do not use your title to sway others to share your fears. Instead learn about the breed and be an example of an educated human not a fearful beauty bimbo.
Mary I could’nt say it better
you don’t mind if I use this
I am sorry for your experience. I too, have been bit by a few different dogs, a Labrador Retriever and a Malamute, as well as a few cats in my time. Please, instead of running on fear, run on reason. Better laws regarding breeding, sales and spay/neuter of animals is a way better platform for you to advocate for. Not your fear based platform of punishing all “pittbulls.”. I am the current owner of 2 mastiff cane corsos and one pittbull mix. None of them has ever so much as curled a lip at me and they are all rescues. pittbull was found in my alley and mastiffs were from a rescue. Do not let fear rule your life.
This just goes to show you that the Miss Universe contestants have empty parking lots between their ears. This woman’s ignorance is incredible and the damage she can do is serious. We should all make a point of letting her know how we feel and protest!
https://www.facebook.com/SaharBiniazMissUniverseCanada2012
If this is your stance and agenda, I hope you do not win. Your position is an embarrassment. Grow up. Things happen. Who is to say you did not inadvertently do something to cause the attack? Maybe we should ban cars since you were in a wreck one time… or ban steak knives because you cut your finger once.
Deed not Breed,any dog can bite,and for a variety of reasons,fear,pain,lack of socialising poor breeding,the list goes on,there appears to be a hate campaign against anything remotely bull breed type,it’s almost bordering on a worldwide hysteria,how many people can correctly identify a pit bull?and it is far better to educate than to discriminate,please can common sense prevail for once and please stop targeting innocent pets and families,Miss Biniaz would be better helping set up an education campaign against over breeding of dogs,animal welfare and teaching children how to interact and care for animals than starting a witch hunt against one breed,families and neighbours end up turning against each other and decent people with good dogs are forced apart,causing pain, animosity and the needless death of many dogs.
This twit needs to go right back to being the silly fake bimbo that she is and not try to put her experience into any business of clear thinking human beings! I can tell you why the dog bit her… because she is stupid and dogs know stupid twits and took care to get her away from himself! She is dangerous to the world and should be leashed and muzzled!
So, Darlene, you have no problems condemning this person without knowing anything about her or her experiences. Would it be fair of me to call you a Bimbo without knowing you? Oh, sorry, just because you can barely master the English language, should I not refer to your lack of intelligence. I wish all of you pit bull apologists would actually experience what it is like to see a pit bull flip that switch. It is a horrible thing to experience and when you hear the owner say,”oh my, she has never done that before…” I just hope you don’t lose a child over your education process you twit!. Sure, half the owners are hillbillies, just like half of the people jumping to the defense of pit bulls and attacking someone just because they have an opinion that doesn’t mesh with yours.
That’s very inappropriate and makes you the unintelligent twit now. So what the stereotyped “hillbillies” are the reason that pitbulls are mean? Your biased opinions actually tick me off due to the fact I’m an educated, healthcare provider who happens to be a “hillbilly.” Also the proud owner of two pitbulls. The fact that the world bashes pits and no other breed is b.s because Rottweilers, Dobermans and many other breeds are just as dangerous but nothing is ever said about them. Condemn the owners not the dogs, because a dog doesn’t know violence unless taught or seen. Any dog can be mean or vicious from a Great Dane down to a Yorkshire Terrier, Toy Poodle, or Chihuahua. So before you go talking crap you need to realize how ignorant you sound.
this is a very negative campaign you are joining. it is descrimination based obviously on ingnorance. what else are you against? who goes out and buys guns to kill? what mothers abandon their own or kill them? which fathers shake their infants? humans. are you against them too? wake up.
Miss Universe from Canada… You need to educate yourself about these dogs. They are the most loving and sweet dogs you could ever be around. It is the way uneducated, idiots , thoughtless, people treat these animals that should be addressed. YOU , Miss Universe from Canada, are part of the problem how these animals are being treated!!!
Very sad that she sees fit to project her own fears on to many people who may not have considered the pit bull issue until now. You can bet that her family got that pittie for security reasons too, not as a loving member of the family.
But then a Miss Universe was never going to be respected for her intellectual capacity either, so hopefully she will be ignored.
I can’t believe how irresponsible and ignorant you are, it’s you that should be muzzled!
Has it ever crossed your brain cell that it’s the owner of the dog that should be held responsible!?
Hey Faith, just wait, your pit bull just may decide to have a go at you one day. I’ve been there and it isn’t pretty, you ignorant, brainless twit.
Sahar,
If we were all like you, we would judge all Iranians by the likes of Mahound Ahmadinejad. I’m glad that most humans thought processes are not like yours.
Paula Stratton Simmons
Paula,
I wanted to write something, but there’s no need now that I’ve read your comment. I second that.
Another Paula
You really do need to get an education.
Absolute nonsense! Do not use power to get yourself heard for the wrong reasons! Pitbulls should be allowed the same chances in life as other breeds. Stop the excessive breeding! I hope this woman gives up her crown and stops trying to push her personal opinion on others!
You obviously did not know how to meet a dog. Staring at a dog, especially one that does not know you, is threatening. I did that to a german shepherd when I was a teenager–I learned from that. Does that mean I think all GSDs should be banned or muzzled? Absolutely not! Stereotypes are damaging. If I believed them, I would believe that all beauty pagent participants are bubbleheads, and their beauty is the only thing going for them. That’s not true, right?
how can you judge a breed just because you were a victim thats like saying one bad apple spoiled the whole bunch. not all pits are bad like saying not all people are bad either its being racist against a breed i have had pits my whole life and they are just as loving as any other breed
OMG GET A GRIP A DOG BIT U WOOPTY DOO PITBULS ARE NOT BAD DOGS I HAVE ONE AND SHE’S AN AMAZING DOG EVER …..HUMANS ARE THE EVIL VILE CREATURES THAT TURN THE DOGS NASTY SO BAN THE OWNER NOT THE DOGS PLUS CANADIANS CAN’T SPEAK LOOK WHAT THEY DO TO THE BABY SEALS ECT HYPOCRITES
GIVE ME A FRIGIN BREAK! STOP PUSHING YOUR FEARS ON THE REST OF US. I’M SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS CRAP. I WILL NOT LET YOU OR ANYONE ELSE TELL ME WHAT KIND OF DOG I CAN OR CANNOT HAVE. AND FOR THIS MISS DIVA, YOU WERE BIT WHEN YOU WERE 14, GET OVER IT! I WAS ATTACKED BY A BLACK LAB WHEN I WAS 12, IT BIT MY CALF MUSCLE CLEAR TO THE BONE HOWEVER I DID NOT ASK THAT ALL BLACK LABS BE DESTROYED! ANOTHER BLACK LAB JUMPED UP AND BROKE MY NOSE JUST A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO YET I STILL DO NOT ADVOCATE AGAINST BLACK LABS. BIG DEAL. I’M SO OVER IT AND I TELL YOU WHAT, IT’S MADE ME A BETTER PERSON WHEN IT COMES TO DOGS. I HAVE NO FEAR OF DOGS BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN EDUCATING MYSELF ON BECOMING A BETTER, MORE EDUCATED DOG LOVER. IF YOU WERE ANY KIND OF ROLE MODEL TO GIRLS/WOMEN IN CANADA YOU WOULD LEARN TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THE PIT BULL, THEN YOU WOULD LEARN THAT A) THERE IS NO SUCH BREED AND B) YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST LOYAL BREEDS OUT THERE. DON’T ADD TO THE MEDIA HYPE, BE AN ORIGINAL PERSON AND STAND OUT FROM THAT CROWD. GOD THIS BURNS MY ASS!
Sarah,
I understand why you have developed a fear of dogs, and why that fear is focused on the breed of dog you happen to have been bitten by. But please think about what you are advocating before joining the ranks of the fear-mongerers. All dogs have the potential to bite, just as all people have the capacity for violence. I was once bit in the face by a beagle, and a friend of mine lost a hunk of her calf muscle to a schnauzer. But I’m sure you can see how ridiculous it would be to hold every beagle or schnauzer responsible. Besides, it’s one of the dogs’ only ways to get a message across to us, since we as narcississtic humans put very little effort into understanding the communication methods of other species, yet expect them to understand ours. There are a lot of very violent, dangerous people of middle-eastern descent, who like to blow up airplanes and murder innocent people by the thousands, but I wouldn’t dream of holding every person of middle-eastern descent responsible and assume they would do the same. Do you think I should?
What an ignorant and ugly person, she is.
Really!!?… Maybe because you were in the dog’s face, maybe because you made direct eye contact with a completely strange dog, maybe the dog felt your fear… Have you ever thought that maybe you provoked the attack because you were unaware and ignorant of how you should approach a dog?.. So you want to use a 12 year old incident that most likely you caused to BAN other dogs that are innocent.. How is that using your voice, FOR EVIL!!! Maybe we should impose a BAN on beauty pageants because my personal belief is that it’s old school.. That Beauty Queen’s are STUPID!!.. Do you see how that sounds?.. Really ignorant doesn’t it.. I have no clue what kind of hard work is put into becoming a Beauty Queen and kuddos to those who do… personally it’s not my cup of tea.. but that doesn’t mean we need to BAN it.. You really need to stop and truly THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO. BECAUSE THERE ARE YOUNG WOMEN THAT LISTEN TO YOU AND LOOK UP TO YOU. AND RIGHT NOW ALL YOU ARE DOING IS LETTING AN OLD FEAR AND STILL POSSIBLY A NEW FEAR RUN RAPID RIGHT NOW!!!.. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THE STERO TYPING GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH THIS BREED .. YOU ARE ABOUT TO THROW AN ACCELERATE ON AN ALREADY OUT OF CONTROL BLAZE.. IS THIS WHO YOU REALLY ARE?????
If were as stupid as this girl, I would be begging for all Pekingese to be banned because one bit me as a child. Difference is, I am smart enough to take responsibility for what happened. I put my face in his and made oogie boogie eyes at him. Duh.. of course he bit me. I still have the scars on my face, but I still loved him after the fact and hold no resentment towards to breed.
my commend tell her to go back to iran and see how much voice she really has there she may be lucky helping to get rid of the dictator in iran or she may just get shot to come to canada and using her voice to ban all pit bulls is insane her job is to help her own country and all the people who are getting murdered there and the starving children of the world so lets see who is actually going for this once she goes to council meeting i think she needs councelling she has a mental problem and i had no idea it was part of they duty to work at banning pit bulls let me tell you there are many who should be banned but pit bulls are not what i am talking about there are hundreds and hundreds of people who work day and night to save animals of all kind including pit bulls she wants to do something good tell her to speak against bullfights and tell her to lend her voice against calgery stamped all u find there is abuse of animals that would be a kind thing but some power behind her pushing they agenda they know she has a mental hang up about pit bullsand i am sad to say this actually is happening in my country CANADA i was born in germany myself hate what ADOLF HITLER DID BUT IT HAS NOT GIVEN ME A COMPLEX this women has one lets see how many go for what she has to say and she better know what she is letting herself get in to because she should not forget there are the once who sometimes work day and night to save many many pit bulls from beeing abused and she will contribute to more of the same because nobody will say anything exept OH WELL ITS JUST A BIT BULL this i find totally disgusting of this women to speak about banning pit bulls NOT HER JOB STARVING CHILDREN SHOULD BE BUT HOW MUCH DOES SHE CARE I HAVE NO IDEA
What an ignorant person!!!! OMG i was biten by a german shepherd when i was 8 yrs old. Does tht give me the rite to condemn this breed b/c of one unfortunate incident!!!!! Stupiity breeds contempt & “bull shit legislation’. SHAME ON MISS CANADA!!!!!
I have nothing but contempt for her. I certainly would not want her representing my “universe”, my country, my city, my zip code or even my garbage company. She is a poor example of mankind.
I FOR GOT TO MENTION I WAS AS A 6YEAR OLD BITTEN BY A LITTLE BLACK AND WITHE DOG 6 STITCHES and i dont have a mental problem i love all animals to this day my advice protest her every place she speaks and by the way she should never get to speak on anything exept poverty child abuse hunger in the world and what is going on in her own country i read nothing from her doing anything to help her own people so if this is all she is good for my advice go back to Iran but most of all i wonder the people who voted for her did thy have a glue what her MENTAL HANGUPS WHERE i do not
believe she said a word about it so my advice go back to Iran and do what it is she want,s to do there and see how far she gets there LOL
Ignorance perpetuates ignorance….hopefully she is not truly representative of the whole of Canada…she needs to loose her crown. I have been bitten by a few dogs–none of which were Pit Bulls. My sister had a pit bull– a love of a dog. ohhhh, Canada….:(
She’s an Iranian immigrant. Is she Muslim? Muslims don’t like dogs – especially black dogs.
Are you kidding me?? How can anyone be so stupid as to post saying that a childhood pet attacked her when the idiot probably doesn’t even remember her childhood. She only wanted some of the attention that the other morons are getting saying stupid things about animals. Well, she is getting it some attention but it is probably not the type of attention she wanted. You know the saying…An animal can sense stupidity, well it definitely sensed it from her. People should not have animals to begin with that are too stupid to know how to take care of them and teach them right from wrong. The sad thing about all of this is that animals learn from who they live with and their environment and yet the animals are the ones that are being mistreated..WHY not condemn and hold the humans accountable for their actions????? GET REAL and post all of the good things that there are about pit bulls and all other animals that make our lives worth living…They are the best friends in the world and love us unconditionally!!!!
This person has the opportunity to get behind and show support for any number of worthy causes that could spread positive views across the world and she decides to spread hate against a breed of dog?? The miss universe committee needs to take away her title, as they are also involved with her hate campaign as long as she is wearing that symbol on her head. What a moronic hateful and ignorant thing she is doing. I hope she reads every single one of these comments and realizes just how ridiculous and stupid she is. Someone should have put a muzzle on her before she was allowed to spread the hate.
Stick to what you know…makeup…swimsuits..walking…answering dumb questions…keep your irrational fears to yourself. Grab a brain and get educated. It is not the breed.Use your status for something factual…woman abuse..child abuse…bullying..discrimination….Leave what you don’t know out of it.
Shes ignorant. She needs to open her eyes.
I agree with the pro-pit-bull point of the article, but what does the beauty being an “queen immigrant from Iran” have to do with this story? Because it further proves that she’s a bad person? Looks like some racism from the writer.
Please delete previous comment; there was a typo.
I agree with the pro-pit-bull stance of the article, but what does the woman being an “immigrant from Iran” have to do with this story? Because it further proves that she’s a bad person? Looks like some racism from the writer. Using one kind of bigotry to prove another kind of bigotry is poor reasoning.
As a fellow Canadian you disgust me … I was scratched across the face by a cat as a little kid – Christmas photos to prove it … Dont see me starting a campaign to eliminate cats … In fact – I have a cat & a dog – both who are affectionate, loving & loyal to this family & especially my 18-month old son …. You, my dear, are an idiot
I`ve sent her the facts.Hopefully she`s somewhat literate.
http://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/dogbites/dog-bites-in-canada/
If she continues with her hate & fear mongering Campaign we`ll know she can`t read or at the very least has trouble comprehending what she reads.
Shouldn`t literacy be a requirement even for a Beauty contest?
HA! I’m PAWSitive (for us dog lovers) that there are NO literacy requirements to run for a beauty contest. Plastic boobs, capped teeth, a little botox here & there, a little lipo here & there, then voila, you have a pretty little empty shell.
I wouldn’t worry about this. She is a beauty queen right? Her 15 minutes of fame will soon be over and no one will care about her. I love how people who were attacked by dogs try to make the entire breed suffer. I was attacked by a chow and I don’t try to ban chows….I just don’t own one. Someone find this idiot’s mute button.
I HAVE NO LOVE FOR PIT BILL HATERS!!!! WE SHOULD RID THE WORLD OF THEM!!!!
SIMPLY STATED, THERES NO ROOM FOR STUPID PEOPLE!!!!
as we say in the south.”even duct tape can’t fix stupid”
More people are harmed by coconuts then they are pitbulls maybe she needs to start a coconut hate group …this is a sad situation I am sorry she was bit by a dog but live and let live I have 3 pits that will welcome you into their den but breaking in they will protect their humans like we would expect them to
It is ignorance of the breed such as this, that stirs unnecessary fear in others. Any dog, any breed can bite…does that mean we ban all dogs? Come on people, become educated about canines.
Wonder if she stopped to think that maybe that pitbull didn’t get the greatest treatment at that BREEDER’S place? Any dog can bite as far as that goes ANY ANIMAL CAN BITE! My daughter’s cat bit the beejesus out of me yesterday so should I start a campaign to ban cats now?
That is really just what is needed-Some air-headed bimbo who “won” a bauty contest campaigning for anything. Other than hair or make-up products,she probably doesn’t need to speak about anything!
Before you think you are capable of representing a country, you should be educated first. First off, Pitbulls are not inherently vicious, or naturally aggressive. They are made this way through human owners who do not treat their loyal 4 legged furbaby properly. Any dog that is not properly socialized or trained, can be dangerous. What you are doing is practicing racial profiling. So if you are to be racist to a group of dogs, you are capable of doing the same to humans as well. Does Canada really think that you are a good candidate to represent their country? All Canada is proceeding to do by continuing to allow an ignorant person such as yourself run to represent them do, is make it that none of us will care to visit your country and will push for our country to not work with you any longer. I was bit in the face by a St.Bernard as a child. I have a scar on my chin and just below my eye. If the dog would have got it’s teeth any higher, I would have been blind in that eye. But I do not believer that all St.Bernard’s should die or have horrible cruel acts of punishment done to them. SO GET A GRIP!!!! Everyone says that you are beautiful, I say that you are ugly. Your beauty is only a result of makeup and professional care. Otherwise, you are no better then the average person.
Would she ban chihauhaus, cocker spaniel, dachshunds, german shepherds, dobermans if one had bit her. More BSL!
Forget about banning Pit Bulls anywhere, the hypocracy of it…ban Pit Bulls because you were bitten by one a million years ago…but then you want fame by doing something that makes millions of teenage girls despise themselves, starve themselves, lose their confidence, self harm and even end their own lives and all because they dont look like the ‘perfect female’…believe me hun, you are doing a lot more damage to humans than any Pit Bull has ever done!!
She should go back to her country and worry about issues there instead of worrying about something she obviously knows nothing about! One more reason to avoid canada
You would think as an immigrant she would have some insight to this. What if I were to say an iranian assaulted me, therefore all iranian should be put in jail or deported?
Bsl is flat out racism. Just because her parents never taught her to interact with a new dog doesn’t mean dogs are evil.
deed NOT breed , pit bills are so loving n loyal a great family dog , so miss universe you got bitten at 14 even a poodle can n will bite more often than a pit bull , a pit bull brought up in a loving family home WILL NOT BITE unless like any other breed they are taught to by irresponsible owners , so PLZ WAKE UP , put the past behind you n help us stop this BSL , OH N BY THE WAY DO YOU WEAR ANYTHING WITH FUR EXAMPLE COAT ??? aBERDEEN sCOTLAND UK
Wow another hitler – disgraceful that she is using her position for this – she should lose her crown
Offer to educate her via twitter.
If she doesn`t respond just ignore her.
She`s just looking for 15 more minutes of “fame”.
I think this woman needs to grow up. Then this means that every time anybody gets bitten or scratched by an animal, then that breed of animal should be banned and/or destroyed. They will eventually be driven to extinction. My own adopted dog bit me big time when I first got him, but I understand that he was scared and nervous. I gave him another chance even though everyone told me not to. Today he is the greatest, smartest little dog I have. He’s happy and never is a problem.
And Martha, does of us who KNOW about dogs know that your dog bit only because he was scared & in a new environment. I’ll bet you rescued him too….. he probably never knew a good home until you adopted him.
By the way, he is a Dachshund/Poodle mix. Maybe Dachshunds and Poodles should be banned too.
let me see————— I was bitten by a collie when I was six, let’s put a ban on the collie———— I was bitten by a chihuahua when i was 14 lets ban them also. then let’s get a life and do something good for a change.
Awww I wonder where the dog scarred this “Beauty” contestant to make her hate pitbulls so much eh? What a low life she is.
As a child, I was severely bitten by a house cat that had been our pet for years. As an adult, I realize that was an isolated incident. I don’t go around telling everyone to ban cats because I had a bad experience. Obviously, she wasn’t to disfigured by the incident.
Okay, jump on the bandwagon of “ban pit-bulls” – cause your vapid brain can’t find any real ills in the community to speak out for! you are an ugly person and i personally would like to believe your story, but i don’t. call me a cynic – but i don’t like your rational. You are a grown up now, act like one.
First of all she isn’t Canadian! So she shouldn’t even be allowed a Miss Universe Canada title! What she has to say about pitbulls or any other animals means nothing to me. She grew up in a country were the worse animals ever were her own people. If that wasn’t the case…her family wouldn’t have immigrated here.
My second question is…would she be making this stand had she been bit by a chihuahua…or schnauzer, or poodle?
She’s just another small minded, uneducated person in our country with a title trying to show power. Right up there with the Liberals!!!
None of you power stricken people should be making a stand on anything until you are certain on what you are talking about.
This is like saying …”we need to jail the babies of serial killers because they might carry the “serial killer” gene”.
Or how about this….”no person of Iranian decent should be allowed to leave their country because they might be related to Saddam Hussein”. How’s that for small minded. Stupid right? Good thing I really don’t think this way because that would make me a bad person….just like the person who is carrying the Miss Universe Canada title. It’s obvious you got this title based on your looks and not your brains.
Read a Canine Behavourial book before shooting your mouth off.
STUPID GIRL!!!!!
Are we really listening to someone who has built a career based on her looks? There was just a young boy who was bitten in the face by a labrador. Are we calling for a labrador ban also?
Dogs react on fear- obviously she wasnt comfortable with the dog to begin with, and thats why he may have bitten her.. perhaps and I AM SURE there is more to the story than just her eye contact. some dogs simply feel threatened and they feel they have to defend themselves. Pit bull is an unfortunate breed that has so much wrong publicity from media and so-called celebrities, that is very sad. perhaps the most misunderstood breed! i know a few people who have pit bulls and they are the sweetest dogs. just because it happened to be a pit bull who bit her doesnt make it right to announce all over the world they are no good. i ve been bitten by feral cats, and i still love them. i rescue cats and know that any animal has its own reason to bite. its so sad that celebrities use their name to create hatred. very narrow minded, as one of the posts said here. I totally agree.
This BSL is crap. Don’t understand, let’s see, sharks in the ocean are mean, they bite, there’s no ban on them and they continue to exist. Some animals may be mean but can be retrained. But they still have the right to live.
I understand it is hard to move past a dog bite or attack. She is missing the point, though. This is a great opportunity for her to teach others about the proper ways to greet and interact with a dog, especially parents. All she is doing is causing people to be lax, thinking their dog is safer, when in reality, any dog can and does bite under certain circumstances. I do question what kind of dog was purchased from a breeder, as puppies don’t “attack”. Was this a retired breeder? Was it ever socialized or simply chained outside to mass produce for profit? Was it a registered dog or the product of a shady backyard “breeder”? It makes a huge difference.
It is unfair and uneducated to lump all of a breed together based on the individual situation of one. That’s like saying all black people steal because one does…so lock them all up? Or that all people with a mental illness are violent and should be banned. Don’t let fear and a lack of understanding push you into trying to ban and kill thousands of innocent loved animals. What happened to beauty queens being known for good and compassion…why all the hate? I am sorry for your horrible experience but it is not the experience thousands have had and are having now. People look up to you…children…
and you choose to promote animal cruelty. Prejudice.hate. fear. Murder….?
You are the reason I abhor beauty contests… Vapid , plastic ignorance.
Beauty queen is clearly ugly on the inside. The problem lies within the owner not the breed of dog. Sickens me to hear uneducated people speak about this subject. Banning an entire breed ofdog is absurd. What about all the pitbull therapy dogs out there? Hello!!!!?? Please educate yourself.
What a stupid stupid stupid little girl. Yes, I know she’s an adult, but she’s acting like a little girl. Hey, when I was 17 years old, a dump truck with a load of sand in it (making it extremly HEAVY) broadsided me on the driver’s side. Maybe I should have gone worldwide to ban the use of dump trucks. Ya think? I have a MUCH better chance of being hit by a dump truck than I have been bitten by a Pit Bull. By the way, I volunteer in 2 animal shelters & with a Pit Bull rescue, & I have my own Pit Bull/Lab mix.
I have a pitbull and he is so moveable the some models are . It’s the way Thay are raised . My gran sons are around the . You should know all the faxes before you say . Something you don’t even know
Take her crown. I cant stand such shallow people. I have a two yearold pit who is like our kid. Any dog bites.
I guess than we should ban all poodles since I was bitten by one of them as a child. Seriously bitten. Is this individual really this ignorant. I can only hope that there are intelligent people hearing the nonsense this women who has acheived a little bit of celebrity is spreading without any other information but her own personal experience of and incident like mine, Thank God that I am smart enough ro know better. That I know all poodless are not to be jusged by the actions of one. Other wise I would be left to assume all beauty pagent contestants are as ignorant as this one. Thank goodness we are not all like her.
Obviously she has a bad experience .. I was bitten by my own dog 3 times but I still loves dogs and keep helping the strays.
They should concentrate on banning the people that mistreat Pit Bulls. They are sweet dogs when raised properly. If you fight or abuse them, or any dog for that matter, it’s gonna be mean.
Just goes to show there’s no intelligence requirement for being voted “Miss Universe Canada.” Just a pretty face and the ability to blah blah blah.
This Woman have no right to force everyone to feel the same fear you, stupid, discriminatory, heartless woman, so I imagine that it discriminates against people because of their color, race, sex, etc. That poor performance will take Canada in Miss Universe! ..
I was in a car accident several years ago. I have heard of other devestating car wrecks, including some in which people are reported to have died. I hereby wish to set legislation that will ban all cars in canada. clearly they are bad for us as they are causing wrecks all the time.
I think should visit some of the folks near her thathaving loving potties. Maybe some of you invite invit her. If she has a positive experience it can help change her opinion.
Is she EVEN a citizen of BC? Please keep It simple to something you understand or are knowledgeable about like lipstick and hairspray.
She should if been crowned Miss ugly soul of Canada!!!! She’s only average looking in the first place now her soul makes her UGLY!!! My pit bulls r better looking & have more class!!!
I was bit by a doberman when I was 6. This dog was raised by a man that had just came back from Vietnam and had severe mental trauma. Do I blame that dog? No. Do I blame that breed of dog? No. Do I blame the man who raised it? A bit, but even now, years later, I don’t hold a grudge. This woman is very self centered and needs to move on. I do not think she is very beautiful at all when her insides are ugly.
Oh how the Nutters hate to hear the truth! Look at all the HATE FILLED commentary here. For the simple Nutters who don’t seem to understand the issue, people don’t hate a breed of dog, they hate innocent children and citizens being maimed, mauled and murdered because a sociopathic minority believe they have a right to own killer breeds of dogs. The fact Pitbull Nutters care more about the deserved stigmatization of a breed than Human Life is the most telling indictment of all. You don’t have to look far to find the reason why these attacks keep happening, visit any victim attack story and you will find the craziest Pitbull Nutters spreading there lies and propaganda. I don’t know what happened to Pitbull Nutters to make them hate LIFE so much, but it is very disturbing. Pitbull Nutters have no regard for animals (as Pitbulls regularly attack, injure and kill them) and ZERO regard for human life (as Pitbulls regularly maim, maul and murder them) only to be blamed, harassed, abused and threatened by the Crazy pro Pitbull Crowd. To suggest victims promote HATE and MURDER coming from those who actually are responsible for so much HATE and MURDER is he most disgusting thing I have ever heard in my life. I look forward to the day we determine why a small psychotic minority favour animal life over human life and put a stop to the PRO PITBULL NAZI’s.
Max, you’re a hate-filled nutter. What’s your problem? There is no such thing as a “killer breed”. I’ve had a german shepherd mix, a Doberman and “pit bulls” during the period each was a “demon dog” because of the media. A dog doesn’t get up and go, “Gee, I think I’ll bite someone tooday”. A dog is a reactive creature, reacting to environment, training, socialization, stress. Please educate yourself about dogs and the need to socialize, train and contain (leash) dogs.
Also, I have Jewish friends and knew people who survived the Holocaust. Don’t call me a Nazi, you stupid nucking futbar.
Maybe this Max is Sahar’s best mate. That would explain everything.They certainly sound like one and the same person
“Please educate yourself about dogs…”
Ah, that may not be a pit bull defender’s best tactic. The statistics don’t look good for pit bulls being family pets. I’ve not seen another breed where owning a “break stick” was ever recommended.
For the record, the media has never mauled anyone.
You are an ignorant person and deserve what many innocent pitt bulls have been through. You should do some research and educate yourself on the breed. 20 years ago families bought pitt bulls for their babies since they were considered the “nanny dog”. 80% of pitt bulls will never fight regardless of the mistreamnent, abuse and starvation that occurs and they will be killed by humans bcause they cannot force these innocent dogs to fight. The ones that will end up fighting only do so because of their eagerness to please humans. They do not fight for anything but a small amount of reassuranxe they get from the people who have tortured them their whole lives. If they loose humans kill thrm. I have done research to educate myself just like many other people have. Small dogs are the most likely to attack bit since you will not be rushed to the.hospital when your chihuahua bites you we forget about the other breeds that have biten more humans. Not to mention the fact that their are more dog bites reported from labrodor retrievers and cheaapeake bay retrievers then pitts. Pitt bulls also scored one of the highest scores in temperment tests arouns the world. The media is to blame for what has happened to these innocent dogs. There was a report of a chow killing a baby and was only shown on tv 140 times, a lab who sent an elderly woman to the hospital for severe bite wounds but was only shpwn 4 timea. Finally a pitt bull bit a middle aged woman and was not hospitalized only treated for minor wounds but this was televised over 2000 times. You are probably the type of person that preaches about equality between race and gender and how all people are created equally but then turn into the hypocrite you are and racially put a ban on all pitt bulls. If we all had a mind set like you there would atill be slavery and gender equality today. You need to grow up and realize we are the only race that creates mass genocide on ourselves and other species because of ignorance. I hope one day you are faced with racial slurs and punished for simply being alive just like you have done to pitt bulls.
Poor Max, the prime example of why its pointless to argue with an idiot.
I almost had my nose bit off by my elderly Yellow Lab in 2007, should they ban those dogs too? GET REAL! This girl is pretty damn dumb.
Miss Universe of Canada:
You need to educate yourself about Pitbulls and animals in general. You should know and understand that using your “power’ and “crown” to influence a law to ban Pitbulls in BC is pure prejudice and bias, coming from you, not BC. Coming from your background and all, you should know better than to exercise your prejudice. It’s not any different in prejudice among human race.
So you got bitten by at Pitbull that was going to be your pet as a teenager. Deal with your emotional paranoia and work with a therapist. You need it. You can’t take it out on the innocent animals, using your “power” and “crown”. You know about the BSL and poor Lennox’s death, over their prejudice over Pitbulls. Please think through this and “grow up” on how you present yourself to the world.
The only dog who has ever bitten me was chi-chi, granted in a state of excitement and jealousy cos I was patting the other one. Should we ban chihuahuas?
Depends. Did the Chi Chi cause you to be care flighted and face reconstructive surgery?
Are you comparing the damage a pit can inflict to the damage a chihauhau can? Because if you are, stop talking. You’re not helping your cause.
Yes, it does justify her cause. You are obviously missing the point.
Exactly!
ignorant stupid and dumb…wow..please educate yourself before you speak…
Please re-post, so everybody can read it :

http://www.facebook.com/groups/401363939918883/
She doesn’t ask for a ban, Biniaz said while she doesn’t believe that banning the breed will help, the province should consider implementing regulations requiring pit bulls to be leashed and muzzled whenever they are in public.
It is the “most common-sense” move, she said. Fines for violating the rules could be used to benefit the animals.
Ask her to point out a pitbull. Now ask the dumb **** to point out Iraq on a map. Useless waste of space. Find a GOOD campaign dummy. Like how about STOP BULLYING.Or STOP hate crimes. But noooo its easier to step into a cause thats already been beaten to death.

Well Said,, I Feel The Same Way !!!!!
I am writing this under my daughters title. We wanted to share together. I was attacked by a husky when I was 5. I am 39, (in a few days), now and I can recall every detail of the attack. I am not afraid of dogs, in fact, I now own a 110 pound pit bull. He has done nothing unkind to anybody. I watch him, nurture him, he is my friend, my best friend. I think if you are still afraid of dogs, perhaps therapy is in order, not killing, banning, executing an entire breed because of your fear. I also feel Miss Universe, that you are making something personnel here, which my daughter was told not to do. I will fight tooth and nail for my friend, you see he cannot defend himself or his breed. Unfortunately, pit bulls are dogs, who can not use there VOICE! Not like you.
Beautifully said.
Strange timing don’t you think? She is going to a pageant and is now talking about this incident that happened 12 years ago? Is she going for the sympathy vote?? While I feel for her, she is making it hard to believe this is really out of concern for others and not just a publicity stunt.
When you’ve been judged yourself all your life based on looks. Not hard to see how she would think that is how things should be done……She shouldn’t be taken seriously. Personally I believe she’s broken her charter and the crown should be handed to the first runner up.
Wow who are you? You are not even a real canadian citizen. I dont believe you should even be able to represent canada. Never mind start telling people to stay away from a breed off dog. That is discrimination. And im sure there is more to the story then the dog made eye contact and bit. All dogs have the potention of biting. And what about all the little rat dogs that bite? Get your head out of that cloud of hair spray and give your head a shake. And people as stupid as you should be muzzled and chained at all time.
The most biting dog breed is Cocker Spaniel. One almost removed my thumb by biting into it and then grinding on it and not letting go, so I have first hand experience, and they are the most biting breed. Let’s ban all Cocker Spaniels too. BUT WAIT! Combined, dogs under 10 pounds bite more, and repeatedly,than all breeds combined over ten pounds. Let’s ban all breeds under ten pounds too!
This Miss Universe proves that beauty IS only skin deep! Her heart is pure ugly, Canada can have her… what a skank!
Agree!
I agree she needs to shut the heck up. Just because 10 out of 1million pits attack don’t you think they have a reason??? I would attack to if I was treated like those dogs that attack are!!!
Wow, What an idiot.
THIS IS INSANE! How can she judge ALL pitbulls for ONE incident that happend to her? DOES SHE NOT KNOW CHIUAHUAHS AND LITTLE DOGS BITE MORE THAN ALL PITBULLS COMBINED? You dont hear reports about how vicious they are because theyre tiny dogs and dont cause as much damage as a large dog would. If anything it should be ANKLE biters wearing muzzles! This girl needs to straighten up (unlike her wandering eyes) her act and stop spreading hate and lies! That’s like saying All black people or latino people should be in muzzles and leashes because of all the shit you hear about them! People as ignorant and hateful as this girl should know ALL ANIMALS CAN BITE and it is NOT BREED SPECIFIC. Not to mention she dosent know how animals communicate..dogs in general use their mouths for everything and what looks like a bite to somebody else dosent mean it was ACTUALLY meant as a bite since Human skin is delicate compared to when a dog would mouth another dog. That is how the communicate, and body language about an animals says A LOT if it was an attack or a LEAVE ME ALONE nip… DO some research before you make yourself look stupid miss “beauty queen” lets see how you look without excessive makeup.
I have never had an instance someone did not like my pit. Don’t you. Have to save the world or something?
She is a moron with zero education. I guess if she was bitten by another breed her mission would have been for that breed to become extinct! I cannot believe the bogus we have to put up with especially from a child. I grew up with these dogs and they were just a dog back then and were owned by many a family and a fantastic kids dog. She does not look old enough to even know what any breed of dog is or take the time to be educated to know that any dog can bite. She should get off her fake throne and in no way be representing our Country with such an evil heart. I would love to invite her to spend a day at a high kill shelter and she can hold all the sweet pit bulls that will be euthanized that day. She can look into their innocent pleading eyes and say “yes, they should all be destroyed”! I am disgusted with this immature attitude. I wonder if she would judge all humans with the same disrespect – what a great world it would be then and she would not be living in Canada. Shameful!
Her platform is based on ignorance. She’s perpetuating the perception of airhead “beauty queens”. I was bitten by a German Shepherd when I was about 8. I now own a very gentle, very loving 140-lb male GSD, my second. I hope she falls off her stilettos during competition.
