I quite agree with this statement regarding not heeding the first warning. Today, a lady from our neighborhood came to our door handing out fliers which told the story of how her dog was killed by a nearby neighbor's Pittbull. The owner of the Pittbull has three pittbulls and one of the two also killed a neighbor's dog. This Pittbull owner has been to court in New Hanover County previously and was ordered to contain his dogs with the concrete slab with roof, etc. but today one of his dogs got loose and killed a dog. I shutter to think what could happen if a neighor's small child encountered one of these dangerous dogs. The laws regarding this breed should be greatly stiffened, particularly within the city limits. If anyone knows of any other offenses committed by these dogs and their owners, I would really like to know about them and what people can do to protect themselves and their pets.
