Make it illegal to own a pit bull

I know I am going to take a lot of flak for writing this letter to the editor, but I don’t care. How many more people in Snohomish County, the state of Washington, or the whole U.S. have to be killed or maimed for life before they pass a law making it illegal for anyone to own a pit bull?

It seems to me from reading newspapers and TV that these dogs are born, bred and raised for only one purpose: to kill and maim people and animals. It is amazing the power and strength of these dogs. I read an article about a police officer back East that encountered a pit bull that was charging him and he fired five bullets into that dog and he still kept coming after the officer.

Let’s get rid of these killers before more adults and children are killed!
