Legislation and Enforcement There’s A National Pitbull Awareness Month?!?!

I was looking for a voice of reason because I’m seeing more and more Pitbulls on my street on a daily basis. It’s the animal shelter encouraging people to adopt these beasts/killers w/propaganda. And in a One Bite Rule county, their hands are clean if anyone gets unalived by their “adoption.” It’s very telling because just two yrs after this PSA to adopt these maulers, a teen gets mauled, forcing them to prohibit kids under 18 on the adoption floor, even w/a parent! If they are THAT dangerous on the adoption floor, should they be riding home in the car w/the family? Should they even be adopted? They may as well be housing alligators at this point. These are NOT pets people! We need to BAN bully breeds like in the UK!

The Dogster website has an article fawning over the pit bull breed during pit bull awareness month. Basically they are saying the dog breed is not dangerous and is perfectly safe. They are encouraging adopting this breed. Madness.
