The spill over of Pit Bull fighting from obscure rural roots to the inner
city, and the consequent plague of Pit Bull attacks on American
streets, is a complex societal problem with no simple or easy solutions.

pressure the canine community must do much more than chant slogans
and push blind opposition to breed specific legislation.

"The first step in solving the problem should be
appropriate legal penalties for dog abuse and pit
fighting."
