THIS council takes and KILLS family pets based on APPEARANCE only. Have you not heard of the "Lennox Case". Innocent family pet taken and killed. Over 200,000 signatures asking that the "service" dog NOT be killed. Many of these councillers need to be voted OUT OF OFFICE. They are a worldwide discrace. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/11/belfast-eut...

Would not council do better IF they made irresponsible owners pay the price as opposed to ALL dog owners? Wonder how people would feel if this council continued to make laws that make ALL pay for those that are irresponsible? Example. If male drivers between certain ages are shown to be the cause of more accidents, should ALL male drivers within a certain age lose THEIR licenses to drive? Same mentally. Scary, truly scary.

You are so right Lover of Beasts. Some people should never be allowed to carry or use sharp objects. Ellen Taft is ONE of "them". Shame on this newpaper for allowing her to publish such dribble.

WOW just how ignorant, biased and discriminating is THIS article. Profiling much? For YOUR information most owners of these kind of dogs ARE woman with families UNLIKE what is printed in the papers so much of the time. Oh how the press LOVE to stereotype. Fear-mongreling sells I guess.

Way to go Mark. Education IS the key but most papers and poltitians know that fear-mongreling works better than publishing facts and studies. At least 33% of Miami Dade has decent heads on their shoulders and does their own thinking .and research Ah well they eventually stopped burning witches, let people of colour learn to read and stopped killing those in a certain religion... BUT it sure took awhile back then also.

FACT: American Pit Bull Terriers score HIGH on the American Temperment test and TIE with the much beloved Golden Retreiver. FACT: The SPCA says that 90% of calls they get about pit bulls are MISIDENTIFED. FACT: There is NOT a single documented case in the WHOLE of Canada of one of the banned breeds (and usually 3/4 different breeds are targeted in the ban) EVER having killed a child since stats were first taken in the late sixties. However there has been 39 child fatalies. FACT: BSL has NOT worked anywhere where it has been incorporated. Germany, Netherlands Italy ALL recinded their bans based n documented Evidence bite states did NOT decrease and Italy was UP to 98 banned or restricted dogs when they removed their ban. FACT: The number one biter in Denver NOW is the Lab. Are THEY next? FACT: A recent study done by SPCA says that if a incident happens and the dog cannot be labeled a pit, they are NOT interested in reporting dog bites. LOOK UP the study done called "PANIC POLICY MAKING; Breed Bans in Canada and the United States".

God save us from reporters who don't do their homework and perpetulate myths and stereotypes. Firstly PLEASE LOOK UP "Pit bulls is the media biased". What a eye opener to the gross and neglegent amount of reporting on THESE types of dogsand ignoring other dogs. SECOND: Look up the professional study done on "BITE FORCE COMPETITION" Out of the German Shepard and Rottie the so called "Pit Bull" came in LAST every time. As for the total MYTH about locking jaws? OH COME ON... U R KIDDING US RIGHT? .

In THIS day and age this is even QUOTED? The Dr needs to go back to kindergarden. Here is something on THAT issue IF you allow links here. http://thetruthaboutbsl.blogspot.com/2009/07/does...

Even the ASPCA has spoken to the issue of misidentifcation and the OVER reporting of certain dog bites in a study they did.

When will this modern day witch hunt end and of course the misinformation and the IGNORANCE?

The OSPCA has said this, The National Canine Research Coucil's studies have PROVEN this. Thanks MEDIA for the 21st Century WITCH HUNT. You people have sunk to NEW and LOWER levels. Oh for the days of Edward R. Murrow and REAL journalism.

People need to look up the Michael Vick dogs and see what happened to these formally seriously abused fighting dogs. FOUR of them are now registered therapy dogs. Out of ALL his dogs, two were put down; one to illness and ONLY one due to human aggression.

“The pit bull is easily the most misunderstood breed of dog in the U.S, unfortunately, it is the very loving and loyal nature of these dogs that makes them prone to exploitation.”
Paul Berry Chief Executive Officer of Best Friends where 22 of Michael Vicks Dogs were sent.

Thanks for caring enough to reply KXAN sadly it seems YOU are the exception as shown below as this is right from the ASPCA.

" A quantitative study by the National Canine Resource Council of dog-bite reportage in a four-day period proves that anti-pit bull bias in the media is more than just a theory—it’s a fact.

1.August 18, 2007—A Labrador mix attacked a 70-year-old man, sending him to the hospital in critical condition. Police officers arrived at the scene and the dog was shot after charging the officers.
This incident was reported in one article in the local paper.

2.August 19, 2007—A 16-month-old child received fatal head and neck injuries after being attacked by a mixed-breed dog.
This attack was reported on twice by the local paper.
