As I read through my oodles of emails I see that Little Rock unanimously passed restrictions on pit bulls last night. Yet another law that will not protect citizens from the real danger, irresponsible owners. Proof of this fact, the next email I read was about a 5 yr old girl mauled by a stray Labrador. Where might you ask? Why yes, Little Rock on the same day the uneducated city council passed a law against "pit bulls".
Apparently the city doesn't feel its important to pass laws that will protect citizens from dangerous dogs, they prefer to use breed profiling because its easier than addressing the real issue.
A time will come when city councils actualy educate themselves and work towards creating safe communities with good non breed specific laws, funding for animal control, laws that will allow animal control to be proactive instead of reactive. Dare to Dream....
