every law so called law that i read that supposedly "bans pit bulls", is actually an enforced and required "spaying and neutering" law. which requires the spaying and neutering of you pet dog of that breed UNLESS you have a permit for breeding. so there's still exceptions to the law, which leaves the breeding of a breed to responsible breeders who are authorized to do so. if anything i think that reduces the cases of byb for the breed because the fine for not complying with the law is pretty stiff.
i think it's very sad that a great number of irresponsible pit owners are not having their dogs proper trained and properly fixed. i think it's very sad that accidental litters and puppies from these irresponsible owners wind up in homes of other irresponsible owners or in shelters. i think it's sad that these puppies and dogs are being enuthanized because no one wants to adopt them for fear of their temperament or because the shelter just can afford to keep so many of them.
i think if a law would do at least a little to deter or prevent such sad things from happening then it's a good thing. JMHO. |
If you ever watch Animal Cops on Animal Planet when they are in Miami, They often euthanize pit bulls instead of trying to adopt them out no matter what theyre temperment may be because of the legislation there..
