I'm almost certain we are not getting the full story here. More likely, whatever happened is being overly dramatized for purposes of getting the biggest possible settlement and publicity.
That’s a good point, too.
Now I see a lot of problems with dog breed bans. What about mixes? Would they do what they do with wolf hybrids? Keep in mind that a lot of pit owners are not famous for obeying rules and laws. Many own illegal wild animals as pets.
Color me cynical but 99% of these type of stories just don't pass the smell test and I'm a bit ashamed that so many Freepers are so quick to pounce upon them and get themselves all emotionally involved - all for nothing. Collectively speaking, we need to smarten up and not be so gullible because we come across as a pack of uneducated rubes, and this destroys our credibility on other matters. Let's stop being tools.
