Kuan, as you know a MN State Rep introduced a bill to ban pit bulls, Akitas, Rotts, gee what else? -- in Minneapolis. The slippery slope arguement can easily be applied.

A few months back, Minneapolis Animal Control came out AGAINST the ban and wrote a good op-ed piece in the Star-Tribune. Basically writing what DC just stated. They are the folks on the front line who deal with the bad owners on a daily basis AND, I'm sure, have pleasant exchanges with pit bull owners who care about animals-- not abuse them. I had a long exchange with an animal control officer over the summer, he was looking for a missing neighborhood dog, and was excited/pleased to meet Mary and Blue.
