The California Legislature is winding down for the year and SB250 has been placed on the inactive file. That means no further action until next year.AKC puts it a bit more definitively:
Senator Dean Florez, the author of Senate Bill 250, has issued a press release stating that the bill will be put on hold until the legislature reconvenes in January 2010.So I guess CA residents can give their fax machines a rest for a few months, at least regarding SB 250.
South Carolina Code of Laws - Title 47, Chapter 3, Article 13, Section 47-3-710: (C) An animal is not a "dangerous animal" solely by virtue of its breed or species.

MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.
Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any breed of dog.
There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

They will be back. Like fleas. Like lice. Like malaria carrying mosquitoes.
No, we CANNOT rest! Now is the time to meet with our elected officials & to educate them. We should also be taking time to meet with neighbors & the general public.
I just said the fax machines could get a rest on this issue since constituents no longer have to fax in their opposition to their elected officials and urge them to vote no since the bill is not up for a vote. I'm all for education!
We invite all of you to watch our blog at CDOCDogtalk to see what CDOC is doing during this time. By Wednesday we will have many Letters to the Editor to be sent. If your legislator was a No or ABSTAIN and you would like a letter to send, contact us at info@cdoca.org.
We will ber very busy over the fall but our fax machines will be resting.
