Michigan's Senate voted yesterday to prohibit breed-specific regulations on dogs. That includes pit bulls, the breed that has garnered the most media focus and hostility. Michigan hopes to join more than 20 states that have prohibited breed-specific policies. The big debate has centered around whether to focus on entire breeds (pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds), or to focus on the temperament of the individual dog. You hear stories of pit bulls being responsible for a higher percentage of dog bites, as well as stories of gentle, loving pit bulls who were unfairly punished simply for being part of that breed.
