    FBI stats I obtained from another poster.Relating to fatalities in 2008 in the USA.
    Dogs(all breeds) = 16
    Murders human upon human = 16000.

    That imbecile Charly Brown should go and visit all the morgues and see the poor souls that have been murdered by their own kind.

    Sue the whole damn council in their personal capacities,Mrs Canes in the other Pariah state,Dade county exactly what she is trying after all 12 commissioners admitted to her, to revoke this law would be “POLITICAL SUICIDE”.Denver and Dade have very similiar problems ,they both have lily-livered politicos that will fight tooth and nail rather than admit they SCREWED UP with this ineffective law BSL.
    Rather MURDER a few thousand more Family-Pets than lose a few votes.
