Latest report says that they will be drafting a bill against "pit Bulls" and rottweilers. Also it is being said that the bill will exempt "professional Breeders". Definition PULEESE. This is going to be a mess. Sometimes instead of blunt oppposition we should give concrete suggestions. The emphasis should be punishments that are BIG for owners of Biters. Hearings for each case and then fines or confiscation of dogs etc. If you give the Board of Supervisors alternatives sometimes they will listen but blunt opposition really gets their backs up. JMO based on years of dealing with these people when I was in Sacramento and actively engaged in @#$#% California politics. Ever notice how grey my hair is????. Marie K.
