This Is Good...
A northwest Ohio legislator says her proposal to remove pit bulls from the definition of a vicious dog under state law is a housekeeping item — one a county dog warden says would be a bad move. State Rep. Barbara Sears, a Republican from Lucas County, recently introduced House Bill 79 — a measure that would remove pit bulls from the definition of vicious dog in state law. Sears said she decided to offer the bill because she felt it unfairly categorized pit bulls as vicious without just cause in many cases.
Hopefully, this bill passes. Dogs shouldn't be deemed vicious purely because of breed. Viciousness isn't a trait that can be bred into a dog. And oftentimes what a novice considers vicious is just a dog doing a normal behavior in a situation where the dog has no other choice but to threaten or bite.
