You are a South African bush pilot. You fly in some critical medical supplies, enjoy a quick lunch at the hospital.
It's a stifling 100 degrees, in the shade and no shade. You're eager to get back up to the cool, high blue yonder. On the way back to your plane, you discover that the only bit of shade, within 10 miles, has become very popular . . . You start calculating the distance to the plane door.. . and wonder . . .
"Do I feel lucky today?"
Ohio State Representative Tyrone Yates has proposed House Bill 568 that, if passed, will prohibit the ownership of "pit bull" type dogs in the State of Ohio.
If House Bill 568 passes, all "pit bull" owners will be required to surrender their dogs to the dog warden within 90 days of the effective date of the proposed law. The bill provides that a dog warden "shall" euthanize all "pit bulls" within 10 days of their surrender.
In addition, a dog warden or other officer who has probable cause to believe that a dog is a "pit bull" type dog, may apply for a search warrant. With the search warrant, the officer will have the authority to seize the dog and surrender it to the dog warden to be killed.

Be sure to let me know when you go to visit the ASPCA and I'll try to be up there that day to visit with him. Although I'm sure I'll have to fight my way through the crowd around him as he was a popular guy! Give him a big hug for me.
