Banning Pitbulls:(

[green_chameleon_girl]

I read that in the news paper today! I was like omg im moving from Ottawa because this is a load of ( I dont mean to be rude PT'ers) BS!

I also think it is stupid because some of them are sweeties!! They cant just ban 1 breed of dog because of a reputation, we have lots of pit bulls that live around us, they are pretty nice too!

I should make a petition(sp?)!

HUH? their banning pitts in Ottawa??
My Ottawa??

Hmmmmm I knew sleeping in till 3pm was a bad idea. I haven't heard of this until just now.

I hope its in the Ottawa Sun, cause I'm gonna go grab it right now & hunt the artical down.

I haven't even seen a pitt in Ottawa yet & I've been here 3 yrs.

But they should ban yellow labs on my street.. its a long angry story...

Stupid Ottawa...

Ok I just read the article in the paper.

Its a ban on pitts in ONTARIO!! Not just the city.

& they plan to to do this in the next few months (in the new year).

But if they do allow people to have registered pitts, I'm all for that. All dog owners should be forced to regester thir dogs. It'll solve alot of problems.

Cause they'll have a record on ur dog, so if u don't take it to the vet they'll know & u'll get in doo doo.

I got this article from the Canadian Safety Council website. this was a 1999 article so its still good.

-------------
Breeds that bite

In the Netherlands, the breeds responsible for the most bites were Rottweiler (20 per cent), and Golden and Labrador Retriever (15 per cent).

CHIRPP ranked the most common breeds causing a bite injury as German Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels, Rottweilers and Golden Retrievers.


The Canadian study found that bites occurred more often in the summer, during the evening between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and more often at a home than in a public place.
