Lee's Summit considering Pit Bull Ban
I can't believe this hasn't been talked about here... did I just miss it?
http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/14824615.htm Lee's Summit considers ban on pit bulls The Kansas City Star Lee's Summit is joining the list of cities talking about pit bulls. Councilman Ed Cockrell on Wednesday proposed in a committee meeting that the breed be banned before the city has an incident. Two other councilmen had mixed reactions. Councilman Ron Williams said people who already own pit bulls that behave should be allowed to keep those dogs, but he'd accept a ban on more pit bulls coming into the city. Randy Rhoads said a ban might create a false sense of security because other breeds are capable of seriously injuring people. City Administrator Steve Lewis said Lee's Summit has ordinances to handle individually vicious dogs. "There's a lot of debate about what's the best way to go," he said. |

If pit bull breeders sold their dogs to responsible owners this wouldn't be a big problem. Police yourself and you don't have to worry about others doing it for you.

This post is 100% correct. MOF, I actually recommended a boxer to the poster looking for a puppy. I think people think boxers must have some kind of pit bull in them and that they look mean and therefore must be vicious. I have not seen one vicious boxer. I've seen more vicious poodles than boxers. As far as the rest of the list. There are two dogs on the list that I would lose NO sleep over if they were banned and those are pit bulls and Rotts.

What the call Pit Bulls now includes American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Bulldog, American Staffordshire Terrier and anything that remotely resembles any of these dogs. Once again there isn't a problem they just need a demon so they can go after many breeds. If you own any of these you better start trying to make sure BSL doesn't go down in your area. *American Pit Bull Terrier *American Staffordshire Terrier *Staffordshire Bull Terrier *Rottweiler *Bull Mastiff *Doberman Pinscher *St. Bernard *Dogo Argentino *German Shephard *Akita *Chow Chow *Boxer *Rhodesian Ridgeback *Dogue de Bordeaux *Husky *Wolf Hybrid *Great Pyrenees We need to punsih the deed not the breed and hold owners accountible. Breed specific genocide is not the answer. I don't mind being policed but do it the right way.

There was an attack in Indianapolis a couple weeks ago, just horrible stuff. This mother was with her 4 year old and 2 year old walking down the street, and I guess one of the neighbors left the door open and the pit bull came outside and attacked the 2 year old girl. Completely mauled her, about lost an eye, had to reattached, and try to rebuild her skull. Her recovery could take months or years. It's amazing she even lived.

You are truly a POS on every level. Thanks for proving me right as to where you would weigh in on this. You never cross the party line. I swear you would eat your own young if it was the party line. If you work in a vets office you already know there is nothing wrong with those dogs and you know what is they are trying to accomplish in passing BSL. Every time I think I can't be more disgusted by your existence you take it to another level.

Actually this good timing, I guess another man was attacked by two pit bulls in Indianapolis this morning. And they did take pictures of them. They're discussing inacting some kind of law in Indy because there's been about 4 attacks in recent weeks, especially after that little girl was hurt.

That's the problem with banning specific breeds. The morons making these laws wouldn't know a pit bull from a chihuahua. Pretty soon all dogs will be banned.

The entire debate is really silly. There is no inherent/second amendment right in the constitution stating a citizen is entitled to own a certain type of dog. I think it's completely within the right of govenrments to control the population of certain types of animals in order to protect the greater good.

The answer is responsible breeders and owners. Pit bulls often don't have either and the dogs will suffer because of it. When you watch an episode of COPS and they respond to some meth head in a double wide, or some row house full of crack sellers/users you never see a weiner dog in the background barking - always a pit bull.

Fear Monger away. If you look long enough you probably find some info on the breed being the dog of the debil. Don't bother with the numbers or the facts or the history of BSL though. Don't bother with temperment testing or the fact that they call many breeds including anything that remotely resembles a pit a pit. I have been posting the real numbers for a long time now on this subject as well as the history of BSL and you haven't responded to any of it. It's quite clear at this point that all you can bring to the table is cut and paste fear monger articles from the media feeding frenzy on the subject.
