    Unleashed Indoor Dog Parks in Dallas to ban pit bulls

    What does Unleashed insurance company say about agressive humans? How about really stupid people who can't or won't control thier dogs? I think the decision to ban pit bulls is stupid as hell. The people who refuse to train or nueter thier pets should be penalized, not the animals. Unleashed is as foolish as PETA regarding this issue. I challenge you to read the Sports Illustrated story about the rehabilitation of Michael Vick's dogs - one is now a therapy dog - to understand the shortsightedness of everyone involved.

    Dallas Animal Ordinance draws line between breeders and humane groups

    As Mitch Rasansky said during the meeting today, one day's worth of animal ads in the Dallas Morning News offered up 3,400 animals with the retail value of $1.7 million.

    You keep that line of logic up, Fireball. I'm sure it's all about the breed.

    I was at both the meetings of the 18th and the 25th, and was approached by breeders and animal welfare people after I spoke at the first.

    Funny thing about the breeders: EVERY one of their dogs was perfect - no runts - and EVERY one went to a good home.

    The number of pure breed rescues defies that misplaced optimism.

    And as far as I'm concerned, breeders should be described as thus: Any individual, group or business that allows or promotes companion animal procreation with the purpose to either better the breed, leave a legacy, share their pets attributes or make a profit.

    And breeders - whether they are backyard birthing yard backwoods bums, or AKC - affiliated - need to remember: They are putting product on the street.

    And when animals go into "storage" because there's a glut in the market, chances are they will die.
