It's a very small step from another 80 pound dog to a 50 pound child. Too small in my book. I don't condone specific anti-breed legislation until all else has failed. Well, it looks like all the politically correct solutions are rather well failing. And Carolyn is correct. With every mauling and every death, we are that much closer to the knee-jerk public reaction and outcry that will ban our GSDs as well. If the pitbull fanciers don't have an adequate sense of self=preservation for their breed and take this bull by the horns and eliminate the problem within their breed, we certainly can't do it for them but we'd sure as heck better be aware of the danger they pose to our own and have a strong sense of self-preservation as GSD fanciers or we shall all 'hang together' in the eventual public solution ot the problem. lynda Check out our websites for constantly updated info and pictures www.falkrigiashepherds.com www.thecraftywoodchuck.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
