The Miss Universe Canada organization would like to acknowledge all correspondence we receive, however it is not always possible to reply individually.  Having said that, we appreciate the opinions of every person who has taken the time to call or write to express their varied viewpoints regarding Sahar’s opinion on Pit Bulls.  Below is a statement from Sahar Biniaz, Miss Universe Canada 2012, on the subject:

“I understand and respect that this is a very emotional issue for all sides involved. Although I was misquoted by the Vancouver Sun in respect to ” adding my name to the fight for a Pit Bull Ban ” I stand firm in my belief that all pet owners Must be responsible for their choices in breeds and ultimately responsible for the actions of their pet”.
