    Thanks for compiling this and keeping it up to date each year. I’m sure this is extremely time consuming, but so valuable when cities are determining whether or not to have BSL laws.

    I’ve spent many years working on dog fighting cases. I’ve actually subscribed to underground fighting magazines. The dogs used for fighting in this country are pitbulls. Unfortunately, they have fallen into the hands of criminals who have bred and inbred them to be fighting machines. They are very unpredictable due to their breeding, ownership and training.
    My heart goes out to them and I think the kindest thing we can do is restrict ownership of them to only those who have no criminal records and mandate that all pitbulls are all spayed and neutered.
