I received this email....

At least two members of Nanaimo city council would support a provincial ban on pit bulls if the legislature introduced such a law.

"The protection of the public has to be served before allowing individuals to own any animal," said [City Councillor Merv] Unger, who said he had no qualms about the city introducing a ban.

This is a great opportunity to send a group's "info kit" with some basic facts and lots of color pics of Pits and regular people. Fend it off before it gets worse....

"The protection of the public has to be served before allowing individuals to own any animal," said Unger, who said he had no qualms about the city introducing a ban.
How many times have I called to complain about Off leash Large aggressive dogs. How many times do I in a public Park have to yell at the owner to gain control over his dog running at me aggressively. How many times do I have to fork out a Vet bill Because I with my "Pitt bull" have been attacked by a Apparently NoN restricted dog. This IS ridiculous. This city that I live in needs to stop being so lazy and Start enforcing Its by laws. This would Stop "dogs" being able to chase and attack off leash in a Public Park. Also seeing People walk their Pits pass the police station at 1 in the afternoon, unleashed, So lets ban a animal because of an owner neglecting his responsibility to follow By laws that are enforced On all Dogs. Lets stop owners Neglect then discuss if there still is a problem Otherwise all dogs Big and small will be on the chop block

And it always comes down to that BB, the city uses this crap as a band aid answer to a greater problem. If the municipalities would enforce the bylaws they have in place, pet owners and citizens could all live a happier, safer and more pleasant life. I really hope that this doesn't go through.
