Vancouver calls off talk of ban on pit bulls

Monday, June 20, 2011[…] During city council communications Monday night, a majority of the council’s seven members said they’re not interested in hearing about breed-specific legislation to ban pit bulls. Rather, the council said its interest lies in adding more bite to the city’s dangerous dog laws.[…]
