    This Man Posted a Selfie With His Rescue Dog - and People Called the Police

    Long article and picture slide show so to give a brief synopsis:

    The town where he lives passed a law banning pitbull ownership. He posted a pic of his rescue dog and him and people called the police. He went through a court process and was allowed to keep his pet because its not a full pitbull

    We need to phase out the breed.

    Meh.

    Glad he got to keep his dog and it's too bad he had to jump through so many hoops, but the shelter is responsible for the mess Dan found Sir Wingglesomething in since the shelter knew -- or should have known -- that Dan's suburb of Detroit had an ordinance against Pit Bulls, which I happen to agree with.

    Not their job. Right?

    On a positive note, look at the jobs Dan created and all the favorable publicity for a happy ending.

    Democrats/Detroit can rejoice.

    Last time I visited a rescue shelter, it was about 90% pitbulls, and they were all loudly yelling how they wanted to rip me from limb to limb. Maybe it was my shirt? No.

    They wanted to rip anyone limb to limb because pitbulls. I can't imagine that any of them got adopted, but it was better that they were in a shelter to be euthanized than with owners that decided they didn't want them.

    See how that doesn't work?

    Good for him. Pitbulls don't kill nearly as much as humans do. They are fine.

    That dog (above, from the linked article) looks exactly like this dog (below), a dogo argentino, not a pitbull:

    Nonsense.

    There are plenty of people here we would do better to phase out than Pit Bulls.

    I don't see how that would be possible.
