I have had her for six years and have NEVER had a problem out of her.I joke and say if you were gonna rob me just pet her and she would probably help you,lol.I also own a tea cup chichua that would eat you alive,should we ban them? PEOPLE make them mean they aren't born that way.I now have to move to keep my dog,how insane is that? She is the best dog that I have ever owned and I think that they should look at the individual dog or owners and not the entire breed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-55655862720291246192008-05-02T17:51:00.000-04:002008-05-02T17:51:00.000-04:00The senator is ignorant!

If a dog has attacked or bitten a human I can see euthanizing it,but this is the equivalent of saying that since there are more blacks and hispanics in the prison population in terms of percentage of population.....then we should euthanize all people of color....totally ridiculous idea on both counts! Anyone who has ever owned a"bully breed" realizes how incredibly loving and gentle they really are. This senator should realize the backlash this type of stupid legislation will bring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-65747608372637002712008-01-17T21:21:00.000-05:002008-01-17T21:21:00.000-05:00Senator Kilby isn't running for re-election, is he...Senator Kilby isn't running for re-election, is he?joe lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949055933708964967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-78941121392872926472008-01-17T20:54:00.000-05:002008-01-17T20:54:00.000-05:00No more laws!!No more laws!!Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754214529181108490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-65236353336850445762008-01-17T19:38:00.000-05:002008-01-17T19:38:00.000-05:00Jeez, Rachel, don't give them more ideas, LOL!Jeez, Rachel, don't give them more ideas, LOL!Joe Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326800254526438870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-52818126097504139812008-01-17T19:25:00.000-05:002008-01-17T19:25:00.000-05:00This proposal is completely insane.

Aside from which, the flaw in this - "There are an estimated 40,000 professional dogfighters who sell their fighting dogs nationwide and cockfighting is multi-million dollar business" - is that I don't see anybody trying to ban chickens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-40769917288461967972008-01-17T19:15:00.000-05:002008-01-17T19:15:00.000-05:00Thanks, The Editor.

And how does the legislature hope to prove the percentage of parentage? By looking at the dog? I'll take that to court.The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12249851191248100823noreply@blogger.com
