WILMINGTON — RE: “No bull” [Counterpoint, July 18]:
As far as Phil Innes's source of info, dogsbite.org: I urge any any readers wanting true statistics and data to check the background of their sources. Please do a web search for the truth about this website and Colleen Lynn, its owner.
Dogsbite calls for pit-bull bans and other measures that have been discredited by many major national organizations, including the ASPCA. The fabrications and misinformation on this site have robbed many innocent dogs of their lives.
Breed-specific bans are unconstitutional and have been deemed so by several states. I hope Vermont will become one of them. We don't want to see Colorado's, Canada's and Ireland's Gestapo-like confiscation of pets here.
I would, however, like to see more individual dogs who exhibit dangerous behavior to be registered as such and trained, restrained, and curbed from further dangerous behavior.
