Shelter leader seeks pit bull sterilization

Shelter Leader Seeks Pit Bull Sterilization
Hamilton, OH - Leland Gordon, executive director of the Animal Friends Humane Society, is tired of watching dogs die, he is calling on local cities to pass ordinances requiring residents to spay or neuter their pit bulls. This weekend 15 pit bulls passed through the shelter.
"The husband and wife with two kids with the white picket fence in Butler County are not coming in to adopt pit bulls," he said. "It's next to impossible to get them adopted because most people do not want to adopt pit bulls because of their reputation."
If they're not adopted, the animals are euthanized. Gordon pointed to San Francisco, where shelters took in a quarter fewer pit bulls after mandatory sterilization. Butler County Chief Dog Warden Julie Holmes agrees that the county has a pit bull problem.
