San Bernardino dog owners get pit-bullied into spaying and neutering their dogs
San Bernardino is trying to pass a law requiring all pit bull owners to spay and neuter their dogs
Are pit bulls more aggressive than other dog breeds? That seems to be the subtext of a new measure given preliminary approval yesterday in San Bernardino County. The measure would require all pit bulls and pit bull mixes to be spayed or neutered, and comes after pit bulls killed four people in the county over the last five years, including a 2-year-old boy who was mauled by his family’s dog in May. Last year LA County passed an ordinance requiring all dogs to be spayed and neutered, with special exceptions for breeders, but does the San Bernardino measure single out pit bulls as an especially aggressive breed? Does it punish responsible dog owners? And how will it be enforced?
