The media 'journalists' use a simple formula for their 'news' items about dog bites these days. If it can be at all passed off as a 'pit bull', do it - not showing a picture helps. Otherwise, just bury it somewhere because the fake hysteria over 'pit bulls' we've created might get diluted - and we can't have that, can we? We need the hits on our websites to generate ad revenue and stay alive. A poll about the wisdom of banning 'pit bulls' should be run whenever possible as well - it puts audience share through the roof when all the anti-BSL folk hit it to vote.

I was surprised to see in the locale Caledon news paper of a dog attack that involved a doberman and a child. The dog attack happened at the off leash park. The dog bitten the kid, the owner of the dog run away with his dog. The authorities are looking for the owner but they have not found any one. To be honest, the authority don’t seem to care. If the dog was a pitbull, it would have made the front news on the Toronto stair and the sun.
