Default Alberta "Ban The Pit Bull" poll

Pits and related breeds/mixes are already banned in Alberta's
capital, Edmonton. In my city, Calgary, the head of bylaw
services is against BSL of all types.

This poll, though, is about a province-wide ban, and provincial
law trumps local bylaws. So far, it's running about 50/50. The
poll is only good for today (July 27) until probably midnight
mountain time.

As of 7:03 Pacific, it's a little over 50% for. It's going to be a
close one, no doubt.

It'll be an interesting result. Pit Pulls aren't a popular
breed in Calgary so JQP gets a large amount of the breed
information from the press - which tends to sensationalise
human-APBT encounters. And I *do* mean sensationalise, even
from the "good" side, as in "Pit Bull Rescues Timmy from the
Well: Who would have thought!"

One of my new dog daycare clients is an easy going Rottie. He
had to leave a friendly competitor when their new business
landlord excluded Rotts, Pits, Dobes, Mastiffs, and look-a-
likes. And this is without BSL.

They are not banned in Edmonton..they are considered restricted. Go to their
web site.

Then household..then pets...restricted dogs

Whatever the term the Edmonton bylaw uses, the breed is
effectively banned as to their freedom as an average household
pet and paticipation in performance sports.

I thought that Alberta has a Agreesive dog act in place.
