I was browsing and looking for information on this. Washington is such a nanny state.The city I live in though, does not have any ban, but there sure are a lot in other cities. In fact, the city next to me has a ban. I was surprised that many of the places were in central and eastern Wa. where it is far more countryish and more conservative...farm type people who you'd think would be up in arms about this type of thing where a government entity can dictate what kind of dog someone can and can not have. Maybe there are just more ignorant people who fall for this dangerous
breed stuff. I don't know.
I was reading about one city, Royal City where you can't even drive through with a Rottweiler in your car. Good heavens! What a dictatorship we're getting to be. What if it's in a crate and it's lower than the windows... and they can't see the dog? LOL.
