I am very sad to report this morning that Breed Specific Legislation has been introduced into the Tennessee General Assembly. This legislation, Senate Bill 2738, would make it a crime in this state to even own a so-called “pit bull” type dog. “Pit bull” type dogs are defined as “any American pit bull terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American bulldog, or American Staffordshire Terrier, or any mixed breed dog that contains fifty percent of its lineage from those breeds.” And, the bill would “Force any person found guilty of owning a “pit bull dog” to surrender custody and forfeit ownership of the dog to a humane society.” It’s about as bad as it gets. (It’s a good bet that the dogs would be put to sleep once surrendered to a humane society.)
