I'd like to take a moment, to just have a small, tiny rant.

See, there is a particular shelter in my area that is quite well known. SO WELL KNOWN in fact that they used propaganda and emotionally driven arguments to pass mandatory spay/neuter of ALL pit bull "type" dogs in our area. Not just ones surrendered to the shelter, not just ones they find wandering the streets. No, ALL pit bull "type" dogs who aren't necessarily causing trouble, being bred, or "fighting".

The reason for this? To reduce pits at their shelter, of course! And somehow, this law was also suppose to reduce dogfighting rings, dog attacks, and unwanted pit bulls!

Really. I look at their website and it seems as though EVERY dog there is a pit bull and their numbers seem to have DOUBLED; I'd even hazard to say TRIPLED. Sure, the shelter has always seen a high number of pit bulls. Maybe 10 or more at a time. But now it seems that they have at least 20 "pit bulls" at any given time, or more.

(of course this isn't factual, it's just my observation)

I fail to see how this is actually reducing the number of pits in their shelter, and who will eventually be killed.
