In Australia, the towns of Campbelltown and Wollondilly place heavy restrictions on owners of Pitbull type dogs. The city councils are concerned that some owners may not be in compliance with the law and are keeping Pitbulls they haven’t registered. As such, and in response to the tragic death of a child who was killed by a Pitbull type dog in Melbourne recently, the city councils are offering amnesty to unregistered Pitbull owners.
It’s really a swell deal. The owner turns in the unregistered dog and gets a fabulous prize: no charges will be filed! But that’s not all. The dog too gets a fabulous prize – well, actually the dog just gets killed. But did I mention no charges will be filed against the owner?!
