The second article is Feb 2003. The reason I posted them, was twofold. They are both readily available to the public on Canoe News Media by simply typing in "Pitbull", so whether the aticle is new or not it can still be accessed (many cannot without a $10.00 fee). The second is both these authors are still writing today, and could use a reminder that Bullmastiffs, Pitbulls, Rottie's and GSDs are not inherently dangerous, nor used by most ppl as a macho thing.
Thats the thing about putting your words down for prosperity... they can one day come back to haunt you.... and I think they should haunt these 2. They both made a very public statement regarding dogs they feel are "weapons", and maybe when they wrote the articles they didn't recieve any back lash... but they do need to be challenged, even this many years later. (sorry, in my opinion
)
