Sad news

A little boy in Toledo with spina bifida lost his foot after the family dog chewed on it. The dog was put down and the Mother arrested. The dog was repeatedly referred to as a "pit bull" yet, looking at it's photo, Shopgirlove doesn't think so. Once again, the media refuses to do its job and actually check a fact. Once again, a "PitBull" gets the blame for owner malfeasance. Ban the deed, not the breed. Go here if you think you know this dog. You don't. Breed specific laws are canine Jim Crows. King Dutch has been attacked twice by Cocker Spaniels--nasty little things. But we wouldn't try to remove them from the general population.
Never leave a child alone with any dog, even a pure Pit, one of the least human-agressive dogs around!
Please, please, ask questions, do research, and whatever you do--don't support PETA.
