Portland Oregon's alternative newspaper, The Willamette Week, has an article in its August 1 edition, about the local animal shelter and its increased rate of dog euthanizations. The director, Mike Oswald, attributes the increase to the fact that 33% of the dogs entering the shelter are now "pit bull type" dogs. He goes on to say that most people come to the shelter looking for a "family pet, not something difficult to handle."
Pit bulls are not naturally aggressive and hard to handle. He does the dogs a disservice by implying that they are.
