Pit Bull Stuff
The city of Battle Creek has stripped breed specific language from a dangerous dog bill. Good.
In Indianapolis, pit bull overpopulation is a problem:
Pit bulls were a large portion of the 18,000 dogs and cats euthanized last year in Marion County.
Animal activists argue that pit bulls are only dangerous if they are raised to be.
An effort is under way to control the growing breed that officials said has overpopulated, causing an array of problems.
Christine Jeschke, of Spay-Neuter Services of Indiana, has two missions — control the overpopulation of often mistreated pit bulls, and erase the stereotype of the feared breed.
I would think that general dog overpopulation is a problem in most places. I almost hit two strays this morning.
Nope, no bias here:
A five year old child is recovering at UT Medical Center Tuesday morning after being attacked by two dogs.
The boy was mauled by a pit bull and another dog on Monday, near Englewood in McMinn County.
Tragic event but was there even an effort to determine the breed of the other dog? Not a pit bull, so it’s not important.

Heh. Imagine if all crime reports were like that. Say Uncle was robbed by a black man and another man last week…

The “other dog” had to be a Rottweiler. As anyone knows, Pit Bulls and Rottweilers are the only breeds who attack humans — at least that’s what my Rottweiler says.
