Unfortunately, we live in a state where cock-fighting is still going on and the same type of people who fight chickens like to breed fighting dogs too. We have an unusually high incidence of Pit Bull attacks in NM and public opinion is set so high against them now that I do believe they will pass the ban. And now we have news that a four-year old girl was killed by a Pit Bull in Arizona. It is so very sad that a breed and good breeders will suffer for the ignorance and cruelty of some of the idiots that live around here. I find it interesting that they haven't even defined what a pit bull is....most of them are Am.Staff crosses. The scariest part for us, of course, is which breed will they ban next? Another good reason to insist on spay/neuter contracts for your pet puppies. At least then you will know that the breed will not proliferate with generations, people and activities that you have no control over. Sad and disgusted.
