Good for you Laura Thomas, Go to the round table discussion prepared. Stiff penalties for irresponsible dog owners, and enforcement of the laws already on the books!!! Call Patti Strand and others that are knowledgeable on the subject. Carmen Battaglia has a lot of experience having been called as an "expert witness" in many areas of the country regarding breed specific legislation, his input thwarted breed specific legislation in many instances. Good luck. Nancy Harper ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
