YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio city council WAS considering BANNING 'pit bulls'!!!
But due to the public response (this means YOU) the council has decided to NOT adopt a breed specific ordinance!! (according to sources)
YOUR opinion does count and you WERE heard. Lets help the council come up with GOOD generic laws that can be enforced and punish the irresponsible owners not the breeds.

Following is a list of contacts: Thank THEM now for listening.
