Prospect of Killing Fewer Pitbulls Gives Nashville AC the Shakes
Metro Animal Control in Nashville has been killing every Pitbull they touch for 15 years. Pet advocates have been pushing for reform of this nonsensical excuse for killing and indeed have achieved something. Kind of a lousy, stinking something but um, yay I guess.

That Tree Branch Could Be a Schoolbus Full of Kiddies!
One of those "aggressive dogs", per NC state lawmaker Rodney Moore. Wearing a striped sweater. And gyrating. The owner really should get a permit.
Treats on the Internets
NC state lawmaker Rodney Moore proposed a law requiring criminal background checks for owners of Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Mastiffs and other large breed dogs. Under the bill, owners would have had to take special training courses and pay for an "aggressive dog" permit. The bill died in committee.
