I am not downing ALL people from MI. BUT… to blindly believe that ALL pit bulls rotties etc… are killers. It’s an OUTRAGE.! GOOD JOB NEVADA.! I wish EVERY state had people in state government positions that actually DID the research. AND… then the BSL would be called as it is NOTHING but a bunch of BS.
