Dog stuff
A group is seeking repeal of the Dodge City pit bull ban:
The Dodge City Canine Corporation is planning to ask the commission today to think about repealing the ban, which is scheduled to take effect Feb. 1.
“We’re trying to get them to reconsider and do something that we feel is better for our community, like a vicious dog law act,” the organization’s vice president, Brenda Rose, said Monday. “We would be hitting up the irresponsible dog owners, the ones who are letting their dogs run. The first time would be a heavy fine, the second time would be a severe fine, and then the third time – depending on what everyone agreed on – it would be either doing something with the dog, either finding a different home for it, or possibly jail time or something like that.”
Punish the deed, not the breed. Also, today’s dog idiot is Annapolis Alderwoman Cynthia Carter:
“I’m against having them as pets. They aren’t pets! They were bred to kill and destroy,” said Mrs. Carter, whose former mother-in-law was injured by one of the animals. “They are dangerous animals. I’ve only known them to be destructive. If someone has a pit bull, it’s for no good.”
Yes, here’s my dog savaging a small child. Here’s another mauling by a pit bull. And here’s Politically Incorrect Dog taking on his natural enemy. Oh, the caninity.
