On Monday, December 5, 2011, a proposal is being presented in Cumberland County, North Carolina that all “Dobermans, Rottweilers, Chow Chows, German Shepherds, Great Danes, Pitbulls, Mastiffs (all bully breeds), Akitas and Huskies” will fall under a new breed ban.
According to a report published by Compass.org, “These dogs will be held for the mandatory 72 hrs and then will be killed, they will not be given a chance to be adopted.”
“If the dog is an owner turn-in, he will be killed the second he walks into the back.”
This ban will only result in mass extermination of innocent animals.
A petition has been created to try and stop the breed ban.
