Dangerous Dogs
“Pet Killed, Woman Bitten by Stray Pit Bull Mixes,” Nov. 7.
Isn’t it time the Los Angeles City Council proposed a “dangerous dog” ordinance? Through no fault of the pit bull or in some cases their owners, pit bulls have characteristics that are unique from all other domestic dog breeds. One of those characteristics is that when they attack a person or animal, they attack to kill. To add, these attacks are generally unprovoked.
Is it no surprise then, that pit bulls and pit bull crossbreeds account for the most deaths, maimings and bodily harm compared with all other dog breeds?
What is California waiting for, more attacks?
