Attacked by a Lab? Ban pitbulls!

Seriously, the so-called "reasoning" some people possess and insist on inflicting on the rest of us just makes me shudder.

Pointe Coupee Parish, LA: BSL discussed (10 breeds affected) Stop BSL

NEW ROADS — Pointe Coupee Parish police jurors on Tuesday night rehashed a proposed animal-control ordinance that would place greater restrictions on owners of large and potentially dangerous dog breeds and authorized the sale of a park to help fund a chemical spill alert program.

Under an Animal Control Committee proposal, German shepherds, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, boxers, Akitas, chow chows and pit bulls would be subject to the ordinance.

The Police Jury decided to ask New Roads to adopt a similar animal-control ordinance because the proposed parish ordinance would not supersede city, town and village laws.

During public comments, one parish resident urged the jury to speed passage of the ordinance although she had been attacked by Labrador retrievers, a breed that would not be subject to the new restrictions.

A handful of parish residents complained that dogs of any breed are capable of aggression.

“When a dog is dangerous, it’s because the owner is not properly taking care of the dog,†said Elizabeth Guidry, a dog trainer.

Guidry, who brought a pit bull with her to the meeting, added, “This dog is supposedly potential dangerous or vicious, and he plays with my 3-year-old niece all the time.â€

Ever wonder if dogs can just smell stupid?

I'm actually not even sure how to respond to this so I'll just have to rely on emoticons....:yikes::wall::wall::wall:

The logic is solid to me....you have to understand pit bulls, they encourage other dogs to attack. Pit Bulls are now getting other dogs to do their evil deeds. Because of the increased media attention pit bulls have realized that using other dogs to carry out their plans for world domination is the only way.

How do I know this? I hacked Dotty's facebook page

You know what really pisses me off?

I am fighting this proposed B.S.L. and they went as far as to print an article in the newspaper stating that the issue was taken off the ballot for the meeting on the 25th; therefore I didn't go as I had planned. And then guess what? They discuss it anyway.

I'm sick and tired of our government doing whatever the hell they want especially when they proclaim they want public involvement and then lie to make sure the "public" (aka the opposition) are not there to provide a voice. Only a small handful of opponents were able to get out there on such short notice.

This is bullshit and I've had it!

I think perhaps a civil suit is in order, Staci.

I would hope there is some legal recourse about that if necessary. I've heard of suspicious things happening like that when someone on a city council or whatever is in cahoots with a developer. Hopefully in this case it was a screw-up and you and anyone else that missed the meeting can have another one arranged.
