I can't believe they'd actually have a LAW for that. It would be like putting down a human because of their race!

(Although I admit that before I came to Pet Talk I was afraid of Pit Bulls).
Emaciated is when the dog is VERY skinny. Ribs, hip bones showing, everything.
They have to put them down, because the Pit Bull fighting in that area is SO high, that the new owners could easily train them for fighting. Quite sad, I know.
