Donna, it's not any different than it is anywhere else. The problem here
is the same - politicians flying off the handle trying to enact a poorly
written law that can't be enforced(I read it). Let's face it, Pit Bull
is a term for a mixed breed, how do you outlaw a mixed breed and only 3
other breeds? The proposed law does not punish the owner
hardly at al.
