stouffville suntribune thursday nov 4 2004 3 stoufiville says by hdnnelore volpe what do you think of the ban on pit bulls asked at sobeys tuesday morning keli carroll i think there are too many instances of people being hurt and owners seem to be incapable of controlling the animals i am in agreement with the ban alfred korb i strongly disagree i own a purebred american staffordshire terrier

child outweighs the rights of pit bull owners michele coscarella pit bulls have no place in a community with small children schools and churches the dogs should be channeled to a good use such as
