Should a dog or puppy die just because it is part German Shepherd, Great Dane, Husky, Chow Chow, Akita, Mastiff, Pit, Doberman, or Rottie? It seams that the powers that be at Cumberland County Animal services in NC think so. They are voting on Monday Dec. 5, 2011 to impose a ban on these breeds in their shelter. Strays That have these breeds in them will be held for the mandatory 72 hours, never be put up for adoption and then euthanized. Owner turn ins would be euthanized immediately. Dr. John Lauby (the same guy who decided hiring a gunman to shoot strays at night was a great way to get rid of them) has decided that this is a good way to offset any liability that the shelter could have if a dog bites someone after it is adopted. There are many other simple solutions to this problem- like a waiver.
Please let them know what you think about his "solution".
