Police Officers: Public-Safety Purposes and Pit Bull

police officers: It was later reported that the animal was registered as a boxer but it is not clear if this was to mislead authorities, according to Globe and Mail. The situation seemed out of control and politicians were called upon to do something. Police officers killed the dog, which they identified as a pit bull. As usual in Quebec, the provincial government set up a committee to look into the matter, but Montreal fiery Mayor Denis Coderre decided he would act quickly for public-safety purposes. Public opinion is largely on his side, as are doctors who have attended to injured children. If a pit bull ban is good for Ontario, it should be good for Montreal, too. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
