My son sent me this link: http://www.avpress.com/n/26/0126_s3.hts In answer to Marie's question about what is a Pit Bull, that is actually being challenged in courts right now. It was shown that given a number of dogs, identifying a "pitbull" couldn't happen. It also is shown that many dogs are identified as pitbulls, when they may be Chows, mixes, etc. Identifying the dogs as pitbulls leads to the hysterical response of the legislators anxious to get their names in the paper. Irresponsible owners, irresponsible parents are the problem, not the dogs. Now I guess I'll try to rally the troops in southern California to bind together with all dog owners to fight this latest siege. I know there are lots of them on this list, maybe they can go back to their clubs and push for a United Front????? Wouldn't that be something?
