So, you think Victoria is bad with it's new pit bull law??

In Detroit, there are over 10,000 pitbulls, MOST of which are trained and used for fighting. It is a major epidemic. Any pitbulls that are picked up by Animal Control or brought into the Michigan Humane Society are immediately euthanized. They could be puppies with the most beautiful personalities. Doesn't matter. They are killed.

Be greatful for the laws you have and thankful for the laws (like the one above) that you don't.

Do I think pitbulls and rotties have gotten a bad rap?? Absolutely! I think the only way that a pitbull or rottie can become dangerous is when the owners don't properly train them and give them the love they need. They are a product of their environment.

The Dearborn Animal Shelter is the only shelter in the state of Michigan that actually rescues pitbull and rottie (puppies) from the Humane Society. They go through rigorous behavioral testing and obedience training before they are even considered for placement.

The placement itself is very strict. They do a background check on everyone who applies to adopt a puppy. By that I mean, a police check, they talk with neighbors, and check on vet and employment references. It's one of the best programs around.
