Breed-specific legislation does not work, say local pit bull owners
Pit bull owners took a stand against breed-specific legislation on Sunday, gathering at Quidi Vidi Lake to show support for those affected by the Montreal ban.
Some owners dressed their dogs in costumes. One bore the message of the walk on a sweater.
Montreal's ban was accelerated after a woman was killed by a dog originally thought to be a pit bull. However, police say they are still awaiting results of a DNA test to verify the dog's breed.
