I don’t often do this but today I issued a public apology. I’m sorry to all of the pit bull owners that I’ve criticized over the years. I realize now that your reasons for owning these animals are valid. I was wrong. I’m sorry.

@we_invaded @JordanElderTV @News4SA @KABBFOX29 @GregAbbott_TX You don't understand this bill ("Mr. Bot"). This bill is about Texas jurisdictions that "refuse" to "initiate" a dangerous dog investigation, even when there is ample evidence before them, including multiple incidents, and will only "initiate" if there is a witness affidavit.

Video has captured the moment a police officer killed two dogs following an alleged attack on a woman.

Metropolitan Police officers were called to the Limehouse area of east London on Sunday evening following.

The owner of the dogs was tasered and arrested at the scene.

A family in Fort Smith, AR, just shared a horrific story of a pit bull attack on their farm, in which one of their cows, Maple, was attacked, dragged into a pond, and drowned by the dogs. The entire family, children included, are traumatized. The pits have yet to be put down.

Unwanted pit bulls ON SALE at the #Denver Animal Shelter. 40% off for dogs 40 pounds+ and most appear to be pit bulls. Quite a shift from a #pitbullban to (what will become) an ongoing relentless number of unwanted pit bulls surrendered by their owners https://t.co/ZDFOE4R04d
