Ok so this has been circulating around fb like crazy and that article leaves out a fair amount. Local news reports are a bit more helpful:

http://www.fayobserver.com/articles/2011/11/30/1140687

It still isn't a non-issue, but this is a proposed rule, is not supposed to a blanket PTS for all breeds listed ("selective placement", working with rescues, etc.), and only applies to AC, not the county/city and owned animals. Slippery slope, but not quiiiite as hideous as the Examiner article makes it out.

Makes more sense, yeah. Still... steps backwards. :(

Iam convinced that Dr Lauby is legally insane. That guy is just SO "out there."

Did you guy know he was trying to get a group together to shoot stray/feral dog with ARROWS?! That didn't fly, so they decided to get a group of "pros" from texas to come shoot/hunt the dogs. Fsking asshole!

He is the director of our animal control, former VETERINARIAN. He might still do vet work, he had/has his own vet hosp. Yeah, I totally want that jerk working with animals. I've heard horror stories about him, even from my family.

Ps, since when are chows & rotts bullys? Thats new to me.
