Canine Genocide

After sweeping Continental Europe, the movement to rid the world of pit bulls has arrived in the Land of Enchantment. These dogs first drawn to New Mexico by the wide-open spaces and the promises of a liberal, nature-loving populace may soon fall prey to ethnic cleansing legislation.

It is rumored that members of the Dangerous Dozen (Akita, Alaskan Malamute, Bulldog, Boxer, Canary dog or Presa Canario, Chow, Doberman, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Rottweiler, Siberian Husky and Wolf Hybrid) are closely monitoring the proposed bill. As it currently stands, they, unlike their pit bull brethren, are still free to reproduce and wander the streets without muzzles. Vicious mixed-breeds statewide are rejoicing as it seems that the breed specific legislation will in no way hamper their reign of terror.

In related news, negligent dog owners breathed a sigh of relief that no one is expressing interest in putting forth a comprehensive "strict liability" law. Irresponsible breeders were equally pleased to discover that with a change in stock, they would be able to continue business as usual.
