Medford, Oregon to Look at Pit Bull Ban or Forced Pit Bull Sterilization
Well, it’s a new year but it’s still the same old disinformation and hysteria we have heard for decades about so-called “pit bulls.” The most recent subscriber to “pit bull” mythology is Medford, Oregon whose police profess to be experts in dog breed determinations with the claim that of the 89 dog attacks over…

Is Pasadena, CA Seeking Mandatory Spay Neuter for Pit Bulls as Retribution or to Racially Profile?
Recently, when the Pasadena City Council was considering a mandatory spay/neuter (MSN) ordinance for all dog owners, advocates claimed the political maneuver was really a “thinly veiled attack on pit bulls.” Instead of pulling back in light of such criticism, it looks like the Pasadena City Council just decided to acknowledge that, yes, they…

Dover, Arkansas Inexplicably Passes Antiquated “Pit Bull” Ban
When the leader of the free world comes out against breed-specific legislation (BSL) saying it is wholly ineffective based on research from the CDC, what excuse do communities still have for proposing and passing archaic, passé, impotent breed-specific bans?

Riverside County, California just passed a breed-specific mandatory spay/neuter law last week for that non-existent “breed” “pit bull” and so I guess nearby Redlands, California just had to have a BS MSN law too.
