Ohio to ban all pit bulls?

There's a proposal to ban all pit bulls currently before the Ohio State Gov & Elections Committee. This would, in effect, require all pit bull owners to "surrender" their dogs within 90 days, and the dogs would be euthanized within 10 days of their surrender. Any dog warden who suspects a dog may be a pit bull can become authorized to search the owner's home, potentially seize the dog, and have it euthanized.

Spread the word. Ohio residents have the most clout here, but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't do something. Contact friends who run well-known websites or blogs or webcomics and ask them to post about this and urge their readers to act against it.

This is bullshit, no pun intended, and we need to do what we can to keep dozens, hundreds, or thousands of dogs being killed just because of their heritage. The hell are we, Nazis?

Here's the actual bill.
