Pit Bulls

* Recently, a 10-year-old boy was killed by a pit bull near San Bernardino. And now (May 9), two more children were seriously injured by pit bulls in the Willowbrook area. How many more people (especially children and the elderly) will be seriously hurt or killed by these dogs before the state Legislature (or better, the federal government) has the courage to make it illegal to own, sell, buy, rent, transport or otherwise possess pit bulls? I am tired of reading and hearing the steady stream of horrible news stories about these vicious dogs.
