THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME ANYONE HAS BEEN MAULED TO DEATH BY A DOG IDENTIFIED AS A PIT BULL IN THE COUNTY’S HISTORY

A facebook event has been set up to fight the proposed BSL: https://www.facebook.com/events/458260047593450/458260734260048

– Read this: “California law prohibits a ban on breeds, but Antonovich says he is working on tougher restrictions and an ordinance to crack down on bad owners.

“We’re going to go back to the state legislature and see if we can change that law, allow the local communities to make up their own minds with regards to breeds,” said Tony Bell, spokesman for Antonovich. “Pit bulls are a different breed of animal. They’re capable of incredible damage to humans, to other dogs, to horses.”‘
