BOSTON BAN THE BREED.

Ask about it at work.
_t 19:00:03:18
>> Emily: GOOD EVENING.
_t 19:00:04:02
TWO PIT BULL ATTACKS IN THE LAST
_t 19:00:05:20
TWO WEEKS INCLUDING ONE ON A
_t 19:00:07:24
12-YEAR-OLD BOY HAVE PUT
_t 19:00:09:22
DANGEROUS DOGS BACK IN THE MEDIA
_t 19:00:12:19
SPOTLIGHT.
_t 19:00:13:18
BUT A FLAW IN LAW IS BEING
_t 19:00:16:02
WIDELY IGNORED BY PIT BULL
_t 19:00:18:19
OWNERS REFUSING TO MUZZLE THEIR
_t 19:00:20:02
DOGS IN PUBLIC OR PAY THEIR
_t 19:00:21:12
FINES WHEN CAUGHT.
_t 19:00:22:21
SOME POLITICIANS SAY, IT'S TIME
_t 19:00:24:29
TO GIVE THAT LAW MORE TEETH, BUT
_t 19:00:26:28
ANIMAL ADVOCATES SAY, PEOPLE NOT
_t 19:00:29:09
PUPS ARE THE PROBLEM.
_t 19:00:31:26
PIT BULL OWNER NICK BURNS ADMITS
_t 19:00:34:15
HIS 85 POUND PIT BULL, SPANKY,
_t 19:00:37:26
CAN SEEM FRIGHTENING TO KNOWS
_t 19:00:39:02
WHO DON'T KNOW HIM.
_t 19:00:40:05
>> SOME PEOPLE LOOK AT HIM ARE
_t 19:00:42:09
INTIMIDATED BY HIM.
_t 19:00:43:02
HE'S BIG AND STRONG.
_t 19:00:43:27
BUT ONCE THEY SEE HIM START
_t 19:00:45:13
WAGGING HIS TAIL THEY USUALLY
_t 19:00:46:13
WARM UP TO HIM.
_t 19:00:47:12
>> Emily: BURNS IS SO
_t 19:00:49:03
CONFIDENT OF HIS DOG'S GENTLE
_t 19:00:50:10
NATURE THAT HE, LIKE A LOT OF
_t 19:00:51:26
OTHER BOSTON OWNERS, ROUTINELY
_t 19:00:54:02
IGNORE THE CITY ORDINANCE
_t 19:00:56:03
REQUIRING PIT BULLS TO BE
_t 19:00:57:12
MUZZLED IN PUBLIC.
_t 19:00:58:02
>> IT COULD BE A GOLDEN
_t 19:00:59:12
RETRIEVER WALKING DOWN THE
_t 19:01:00:08
STREET THAT IS VICIOUS, THEY
_t 19:01:02:12
DON'T HAVE TO BE MUZZLED.
_t 19:01:05:16
DOGS ARE HUMANS THEY WOULD
_t 19:01:06:24
CONSIDER IT RACISM I THINK.
_t 19:01:08:10
>> Emily: HALF THE DOGS IN
_t 19:01:09:27
THE MSPCA SHELTER THIS MORNING
_t 19:01:12:02
WERE EITHER PIT BULLS OR PIT
_t 19:01:14:06
BULL MIXES, THE SOCIETY'S KARA
_t 19:01:17:11
SAYS BOSTON'S PIT BULL ORDINANCE
_t 19:01:24:21
CREATES A GLUT.
_t 19:01:25:09
>> IT MAKES THEM HARDER TO 'TOP
_t 19:01:26:22
AND IT JUST MAKES STEREOTYPE
_t 19:01:30:23
MORE PREVALENT, AS YOU CAN SEE
_t 19:01:32:02
FROM MANY OF THE DOGS THAT ARE
_t 19:01:33:18
HERE IT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
_t 19:01:35:16
>> Emily: THE MSPCA SPORTS
_t 19:01:38:02
TOUGH LAWS REGULATING DANGEROUS
_t 19:01:39:23
DOGS.
_t 19:01:40:16
FOCUSING ON BEHAVIOR NOT JUST
_t 19:01:42:05
CERTAIN BREEDS.
_t 19:01:42:17
>> WE CERTAINLY URGE COMMUNITIES
_t 19:01:46:17
TO HAVE STRONGER -- NONBREED
_t 19:01:48:13
SPECIFIC THAT ARE ENFORCED.
_t 19:01:49:16
>> Emily: ENFORCEMENT HAS
_t 19:01:50:14
BEEN A PROBLEM.
_t 19:01:51:14
LAST WEEK THE "BOSTON HERALD"
_t 19:01:53:06
REPORT THE FOUR OUT OF FIVE
_t 19:01:54:23
FINES LEVEED AGAINST PIT BULL
_t 19:01:56:20
OWNERS HAVE GONE UNCOLLECTED.
_t 19:01:58:13
SHE SAYS THE BOSTON ORDINANCE IS
_t 19:02:00:07
BASED MORE ON PERCEPTION THAN
_t 19:02:02:10
REALITY.
_t 19:02:02:17
>> THERE'S BEEN STUDIES THAT
_t 19:02:03:18
SHOW THAT IF A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
_t 19:02:05:27
HAD A BITE OF CERTAIN SEVERITY
_t 19:02:07:27
YOU COMPARE TO A PIT BULL A
_t 19:02:09:26
SIMILAR BITE THE PIT BULL WILL
_t 19:02:11:22
GET REPORTED MANY MORE TIMES
_t 19:02:12:28
OVER.
_t 19:02:13:03
WE NEED TO LOOK BEYOND JUST WHAT
_t 19:02:14:18
WE'RE HEARING IN THE MEDIA.
_t 19:02:16:17
>> Emily: PIT BULL ATTACKS
_t 19:02:17:26
MAKE FOR SENSATIONAL HEADLINES,
_t 19:02:20:14
SHE SAYS BEHIND BAD DOGS OF
_t 19:02:22:02
EVERY BREED IS A HUMAN BEING WHO
_t 19:02:24:03
USED BAD JUDGMENT.
_t 19:02:24:21
>> BEFORE THE PIT BULL, IT WAS
_t 19:02:26:23
THE ROTWEILLER.
_t 19:02:27:26
BEFORE THAT THE DOBERMAN THEN
_t 19:02:29:19
THE SHEPARD.
_t 19:02:30:17
SORT OF BEEN A BREED OF CHOICE
_t 19:02:32:03
FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO, QUOTE,
_t 19:02:34:16
UNQUOTE, TOUGH DOG.
_t 19:02:34:29
>> Emily: MAKING DANGEROUS
_t 19:02:36:25
DOGS A TOUGH PROBLEM TO CURB.
_t 19:02:39:21
JOIN ENEMY IS BOSTON CITY
_t 19:02:43:22
COUNSELOR ROB CONSALVO AND
_t 19:02:46:02
WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU.
_t 19:02:48:24
YOU WANT TO TOUGH THEN ORDINANCE
_t 19:02:50:13
WHO LEANS ON PEOPLE'S -- LIENS
_t 19:02:52:24
ON PEOPLE'S HOMES AND EXCITE
_t 19:02:54:02
TAXES, HOW WOULD THAT WORK?
_t 19:02:55:02
>> ONE OF THE ISSUES LIKE ANY
_t 19:02:56:13
CIVIL ORDINANCE WHEN WE WRITE
_t 19:02:58:14
TICKETS, DOES NOT ANY REAL LAW
_t 19:02:59:09
THAT BACK UP THE COLLECTION OR
_t 19:03:01:10
ANY LEGAL STANDING THAT MAKES
_t 19:03:03:22
CIVIL VIOLATIONS BE ACCOUNTABLE
_t 19:03:05:03
TO THOSE WHO HAVE TO PAY THEM.
_t 19:03:06:06
>> Emily: WHY NOT LIKE A
_t 19:03:07:11
PARKING TICKET?
_t 19:03:07:29
>> STATE LAW HAS TO ALLOW THAT
_t 19:03:09:09
TO HAPPEN.
_t 19:03:09:25
WHAT WE HAVE DONE, FOR EXAMPLE,
_t 19:03:10:27
WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT TICKETS IS
_t 19:03:13:04
TICKETS FOR NOT SHUFFLING SNOW
_t 19:03:15:07
OR HAVING A MESSY YARD, WE'VE
_t 19:03:16:19
GOT PERMISSION FROM THE
_t 19:03:18:27
LEGISLATURE TO ATTACH THAT TO
_t 19:03:20:02
PROPERTY TAXES SO PEOPLE ARE
_t 19:03:20:25
FORCED TO PAY THEM ONE WAY OR
_t 19:03:22:06
THE OTHER.
_t 19:03:22:22
MY PROPOSAL NOW TO HAVE THE
_t 19:03:24:25
FINES LEVEED AGAINST THE PIT
_t 19:03:26:11
BULL ORDINANCE, ALSO BE ATTACHED
_t 19:03:28:14
TO PROPERTY TAXES OR LIENS OR
_t 19:03:32:11
EXCISE TAXES.
_t 19:03:32:21
WE UNDERSTAND THAT MANY PIT BULL
_t 19:03:34:02
OWNERS MAY NOT BE HOME OWNERS
_t 19:03:35:20
BUT EVERYBODY DEPRIVES A CAR OR
_t 19:03:36:14
OWNS A HOME EM WHAM HAS
_t 19:03:38:22
CONVINCED YOU THAT THIS DOG IS
_t 19:03:40:02
SO DANGEROUS?
_t 19:03:40:26
>> JUST MULTIPLE INCIDENTS.
_t 19:03:43:14
DATA, STATISTICS IN THE CITY OF
_t 19:03:45:03
BOSTON, MULTIPLE, VERY HIGH
_t 19:03:47:17
PROFILE, SCARY INCIDENCE RELATED
_t 19:03:48:28
TO THE DOG MOST RECENTLY THIS
_t 19:03:50:06
PAST SASS DAY WHERE THIS IS
_t 19:03:51:09
SECOND OR THIRD TIME ON OFFICER
_t 19:03:54:02
HAS HAD TO DISCHARGE A WOMEN
_t 19:03:56:03
ININ PUBLIC TO STOP THE DOG FROM
_t 19:03:57:19
ATTACKING THE HUMAN BEING.
_t 19:03:59:23
ALL ONE PERSON NEEDS CRIME WATCH
_t 19:04:01:07
GROUP, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION,
_t 19:04:03:27
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, FAULK TO
_t 19:04:05:02
FOLKS ABOUT PROBLEMS THAT THEY
_t 19:04:05:26
HAVE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH
_t 19:04:07:18
SPECIFICALLY HIT BULLS.
_t 19:04:08:12
NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE MANY DOGS IN
_t 19:04:09:20
THEM.
_t 19:04:09:24
BUT TIME AND TIME AGAIN
_t 19:04:13:08
NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS SPECIFIC
_t 19:04:14:05
ISSUES WITH THE BREED PIT BULL,
_t 19:04:16:07
EITHER ATTACKING THEIR ANIMALS
_t 19:04:17:10
OR OTHER PEOPLE.
_t 19:04:18:03
DATA IN THE CITY SHOWS IT.
_t 19:04:19:13
LOOK AT THE NUMBERS OF REPORTED
_t 19:04:21:11
DOG BITES ON HUMANS AND DOG
_t 19:04:23:25
BITES ON DOGS ARE DATA DRIVEN BY
_t 19:04:26:02
PIT BULL BREEDS, JUST CLEARLY
_t 19:04:27:13
SHOWS IN URBAN AREA LIKE BOSTON,
_t 19:04:29:03
IN THE CITY WHERE WE HAVE
_t 19:04:31:27
600,000 PEOPLE WITH THAT
_t 19:04:33:10
POPULATION DOUBLING EVERY DAY,
_t 19:04:34:09
PEOPLE LIVE ON TOP OF EACH
_t 19:04:36:14
OTHER, THAT IT'S REASONABLE TO
_t 19:04:38:03
HAVE SOME KIND OF LAWS IN PLACE
_t 19:04:39:21
THAT ASK PIT BULL OWNERS TO TAKE
_t 19:04:42:03
EXTRA PRECAUTION WHEN THEY HAVE
_t 19:04:43:03
THE DOGS.
_t 19:04:43:15
>> Emily: WE'VE HEARD THE
_t 19:04:47:02
MSPCA'S ARGUMENT, IT'S PEOPLE
_t 19:04:48:16
NOT THE PETS.
_t 19:04:51:04
BUT IT'S HARD, GOING TO BRING A
_t 19:04:53:05
PIT BULL HERE, MY STAFF -- I WAS
_t 19:04:54:24
FINE WITH IT.
_t 19:04:57:08
BUT THE CREW -- YOU PROBABLY
_t 19:04:58:11
WOULD HAVE BEEN.
_t 19:04:59:29
THE CREW JUST TOO NERVOUS ABOUT
_t 19:05:01:12
IT.
_t 19:05:03:23
THERE'S GOT TO BE -- A LOT OF
_t 19:05:06:17
DOGS, DOBERMANS, ROTWEILLERS,
_t 19:05:09:27
SOMETHING TO IT.
_t 19:05:10:17
THERE HAS TO BE.
_t 19:05:12:06
>> THERE'S SOMETHING TO
_t 19:05:13:21
DANGEROUS DOGS.
_t 19:05:14:06
THERE IS SOMETHING TO THE MEDIA
_t 19:05:16:03
COVERING HIGH PROFILE CASES AS
_t 19:05:18:29
THE COUNSELOR MENTIONED.
_t 19:05:20:14
IT'S THE MEDIA'S ATTENTION TO
_t 19:05:22:28
SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
_t 19:05:24:15
PAYING ATTENTION TO FOR A SHORT
_t 19:05:26:08
PERIOD OF TIME.
_t 19:05:26:28
BEFORE THAT, THEY DID PAY MORE
_t 19:05:28:26
ATTENTION TO ROTWEILLERS, THE
_t 19:05:30:28
STATISTICS WE'RE SEEING IN THE
_t 19:05:31:28
CITY OF BOSTON DON'T SUPPORT
_t 19:05:33:12
THIS ORDINANCE AT ALL.
_t 19:05:34:20
WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING TWICE AS
_t 19:05:36:23
MUCH OF A PERCENTAGE OF THE DOGS
_t 19:05:38:19
THAT COME IN TO THEM, THE MSPCA
_t 19:05:41:26
BEING SURRENDERED BECAUSE OF DOG
_t 19:05:43:15
BITE ARE LABRADOR RETRIEVERS.
_t 19:05:45:23
I'D CHALLENGE ANYBODY TO SAY IF
_t 19:05:46:26
THEY WERE GOING TO GO FORWARD
_t 19:05:49:07
BAN LABRADOR RETRIEVERS OR ADD
_t 19:05:54:07
THEM TO THE LAW.
_t 19:05:55:13
WE SEE IT DRIVEN MORE BY THE
_t 19:05:57:21
MEDIA'S COVERAGE EVER IT.
_t 19:05:58:19
WE DO AGREE FUNDAMENTALLY ON THE
_t 19:06:01:02
BELIEF THAT THERE ARE DANGEROUS
_t 19:06:04:02
DOGS.
_t 19:06:04:03
THERE ARE DOG OWNERS NEED TO BE
_t 19:06:06:02
HELD RESPONSIBLE.
_t 19:06:08:27
THEY NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT
_t 19:06:12:29
IS ACCEPTED BY THE COMMUNITY NOT
_t 19:06:13:25
NECESSARILY SHUNNED OR SHIRKED
_t 19:06:16:24
AS WE SAW BEFORE, BUT IT NEEDS
_t 19:06:18:12
TO BE ACCEPTED.
_t 19:06:20:08
THAT'S WHAT WHEREAFTER.
_t 19:06:21:06
WE'RE AFTER A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
_t 19:06:23:20
THAT WOULD KEEP PEOPLE FROM
_t 19:06:25:24
BEING --
_t 19:06:25:29
>> Emily: THERE IS A REASON
_t 19:06:29:10
WHY PEOPLE AND COUNSELOR'S
_t 19:06:30:26
COMMUNITY ALL GET PIT BULLS,
_t 19:06:32:24
THEY'RE SCARY, DANGEROUS, THEY
_t 19:06:36:06
FRIGHTEN PEOPLE.
_t 19:06:36:22
THAT'S THE REASON THEY HAVE
_t 19:06:38:12
THEM.
_t 19:06:38:23
THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T HAVE BIJON
_t 19:06:42:14
FRICAIS.
_t 19:06:42:18
>> THAT'S NOT WHAT WE SEE.
_t 19:06:43:18
WE DEAL WITH HUNDREDS OF PIT
_t 19:06:45:22
BULLS, THOUSANDS OF DOGS A YEAR.
_t 19:06:48:02
THE PIT BULLS THAT WE SEE,
_t 19:06:49:24
MAJORITY ARE LIKE ANY OTHER DOG.
_t 19:06:51:09
OF YOUR BAD APPLE BUT YOU HAVE
_t 19:06:53:08
MANY OF THEM THAT ARE CUDDLY,
_t 19:06:55:02
THE ONE I WAS PLAYING WITH
_t 19:06:56:24
SEVERAL TODAY WHO ROLL OVER LIKE
_t 19:06:58:18
YOU SCRATCH THEIR BELLY, THEY GO
_t 19:07:00:06
UP TO CHILDREN.
_t 19:07:01:06
MANY CHILDREN COME IN TO THE
_t 19:07:04:06
MSPCA AND VIEW WORK WITH THE
_t 19:07:06:14
DOGS.
_t 19:07:07:20
AND THEY COME UP TO PIT BULLS AS
_t 19:07:10:02
MUCH AS THEY COME UP TO A GERMAN
_t 19:07:12:21
SHEPARD BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T
_t 19:07:14:08
BEEN IN UNDATED.
_t 19:07:14:27
>> Emily: THAT'S MOSTLY WHAT
_t 19:07:16:02
YOU HAVE THERE.
_t 19:07:16:25
>> THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN UNDATED
_t 19:07:18:02
WITH THE IMAGE YET.
_t 19:07:18:19
>> IT'S NOT JUST THE IMAGE BUT
_t 19:07:20:09
THE DOG ITSELF.
_t 19:07:20:22
A LOT OF THE CASES THE DOG IS
_t 19:07:22:18
MUCH STRONGER, IT HAS A TEETH
_t 19:07:25:17
AND JAW THAT LOCKS HARDER ON
_t 19:07:27:02
PEOPLE.
_t 19:07:27:05
THE FACT THAT GROWN MAN, ADULT,
_t 19:07:29:12
A STATE TROOPER COULDN'T
_t 19:07:30:25
PHYSICALLY GET THE DOG OFF OF
_t 19:07:31:25
THE LITTLE BOY.
_t 19:07:32:12
I HAVE MANY OF THESE CASES, YET
_t 19:07:35:19
POODLES BITE, YES, GOLDEN
_t 19:07:38:02
RETRIEVERS BITE.
_t 19:07:38:19
BUT THEY DON'T DO THE DAMAGE
_t 19:07:40:10
THAT THE PIT BULLS DO, THEY
_t 19:07:41:18
DON'T ATTACK WITH THE FREQUENCY.
_t 19:07:43:08
THEY DON'T ATTACK WITH THE
_t 19:07:45:05
FEROCIOUSNESS.
_t 19:07:45:17
REALLY ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS
_t 19:07:47:08
IS, WHEN THE DOG IS IN ATTACK
_t 19:07:49:04
MODE GETTING THE DOG TO SPOT,
_t 19:07:51:08
PRY THE JAWS OFF OF PERSON OR
_t 19:07:53:04
THE DOG IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE.
_t 19:07:55:18
IT'S WHY OFFICERS AND SEVERAL
_t 19:07:57:05
CASES HAVE HAD TO DISCHARGE
_t 19:07:58:14
THEIR WEAPONS IN PUBLIC IN THE
_t 19:08:00:09
VICINITY OF BASEBALL FIELDS AND
_t 19:08:01:15
OTHER HOMES.
_t 19:08:02:02
>> Emily: HOAR ONLY STORY IN
_t 19:08:04:04
ANDOVER TWO WEEKS AGO, MAY 7,
_t 19:08:06:16
WHERE -- WOMAN WAS ATTACKED, THE
_t 19:08:07:27
HUSBAND FINALLY HAD TO GO IN
_t 19:08:10:27
TOTANUS GET A KNIFE AND STAB THE
_t 19:08:11:08
DOG TO DEATH BEFORE IT LET GO.
_t 19:08:13:04
>> IT'S REASONABLE IN URBAN
_t 19:08:14:10
AREAS WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF
_t 19:08:15:20
PEOPLE, OTHER ISSUES LIKE GANGS
_t 19:08:17:02
AND VIOLENCE THAT THE DOGS ARE
_t 19:08:18:12
USED FOR THAT.
_t 19:08:19:10
YES, I AGREE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE
_t 19:08:21:18
USING THE DOGS WRONGLY SHOULD
_t 19:08:23:09
ALSO BE PROSECUTED AND
_t 19:08:25:06
ADDRESSED.
_t 19:08:25:13
BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE REALITY
_t 19:08:26:21
IS, THAT IN URBAN AREAS, IN
_t 19:08:28:20
CITIES WHERE YOU HAVE HIGH
_t 19:08:30:03
POPULATIONS IT'S REASONABLE TO
_t 19:08:32:02
ASK PIT BULL OWNERS TO TAKE
_t 19:08:33:25
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS.
_t 19:08:34:15
I BELIEVE FIVE YEARS LATER THAT
_t 19:08:35:18
THE ORDINANCE IS A VERY MODEST
_t 19:08:38:19
ORDINANCE HAVING A DOG MUZZLED,
_t 19:08:40:23
THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THAT
_t 19:08:42:24
ATTACK IN HYDE PARK HAD DOG BEEN
_t 19:08:45:20
MUZZLEED.
_t 19:08:49:18
IF IT HAD, WAS ON PUBLIC WAY,
_t 19:08:51:21
THINGS LIKE HAVING BEWARE OF DOG
_t 19:08:53:24
SIGN SO UNSAYS SECTING PEOPLE
_t 19:08:55:08
DON'T GET ATTACKED ENTERING THE
_t 19:08:57:09
PROPERTY.
_t 19:08:57:15
RESTRICTIONS OF HOW MANY YOU CAN
_t 19:08:59:06
HAVE.
_t 19:08:59:15
THAT IS FAIR IN AN URBAN
_t 19:09:01:21
ENVIRONMENT EM WOMEN DO YOU
_t 19:09:02:15
STAND ON THE ORDER ANSWER IN
_t 19:09:04:05
GENERAL?
_t 19:09:04:12
>> IT'S VERY NARROW MINDED.
_t 19:09:05:29
IT DOESN'T TAKE IN TO ACCOUNT
_t 19:09:07:06
OTHER DOGS THAT ARE DANGEROUS.
_t 19:09:08:15
I PERSONALLY WITNESSED OTHER
_t 19:09:10:04
BREEDS THAT HAVE LATCHED ON TO
_t 19:09:13:05
ANIMALS, PEOPLE, THAT CANNOT BE
_t 19:09:15:19
REMOVED BY ADULTS.
_t 19:09:16:29
THAT ARGUMENT DOES FALL SHORT.
_t 19:09:19:02
AND I THINK WHAT NEEDS TO BE
_t 19:09:21:02
ACCOMPLISHED HERE, LOOK AT THIS
_t 19:09:23:18
PROBLEM AS A DOG BITE PROBLEM
_t 19:09:25:16
WITH DANGEROUS DOGS.
_t 19:09:26:09
NOT A SPECIFIC BREED.
_t 19:09:28:18
BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY, EVEN
_t 19:09:30:04
IN DISCUSSION HERE WE'RE ONLY
_t 19:09:32:03
TALKING ABOUT TWO STORIES
_t 19:09:33:12
BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THE MEDIA.
_t 19:09:34:28
WE HAD LABRADOR RETRIEVER LIKE I
_t 19:09:37:25
MENTIONED BEFORE SURRENDERED
_t 19:09:39:24
BECAUSE IT BIT SOMEBODY LAST
_t 19:09:41:07
WEEK.
_t 19:09:41:12
YOU DON'T HEAR THAT STORY.
_t 19:09:43:03
IT DOESN'T SELL NEWSPAPERS OR
_t 19:09:45:21
CATCH --
_t 19:09:45:26
>> Emily: DID SOMEBODY HAVE
_t 19:09:46:28
TO SHOOT IT TO GET IT TO STOP?
_t 19:09:48:15
>> THEY WERE ABLE TO BRING IT
_t 19:09:49:26
IN.
_t 19:09:50:02
>> Emily: THAT'S WHY THE
_t 19:09:51:07
OTHER STORY --
_t 19:09:52:23
>> ONLY THIS ONE HAVE WE HEARD
_t 19:09:54:09
OF RECENTLY WHERE THIS HAPPENED,
_t 19:09:56:04
WHERE AS WE DO RECEIVE PIT BULLS
_t 19:09:58:09
THAT HAVE -- SAME AS ANY OTHER
_t 19:10:01:10
BREED, THESE EXTREME MEASURES --
_t 19:10:02:25
>> Emily: WHY ARE SO MANY
_t 19:10:04:03
PEOPLE SURRENDERING PIT BULLS,
_t 19:10:05:15
IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE
_t 19:10:06:25
ORDINANCE.
_t 19:10:07:02
I DID A STORY WITH YOU TEN YEARS
_t 19:10:10:12
AGO, IT WAS SURRENDERING THEM
_t 19:10:12:16
THEN.
_t 19:10:12:21
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE, BECAUSE OF
_t 19:10:14:04
THINGS LIKE AN ORDINANCE OR --
_t 19:10:15:24
>> Emily: THERE WAS NO
_t 19:10:16:28
ORDINANCE.
_t 19:10:17:03
>> THE BAD IMAGE THAT THEY HAVE,
_t 19:10:19:17
PEOPLE ARE --
_t 19:10:20:20
>> Emily: OR IRRESPONSIBLE
_t 19:10:22:15
PEOPLE ARE GETTING THEM.
_t 19:10:23:16
>> SUBJECTED TO LANDLORDS THAT
_t 19:10:25:02
PEOPLE WON'T ALLOW THEM IN
_t 19:10:27:21
APARTMENTS.
_t 19:10:28:03
FACING BIAS BY INSURANCE
_t 19:10:30:02
COMPANY.
_t 19:10:30:07
NO REASON OTHER THAN THAT THESE
_t 19:10:32:02
DOGS RECEIVE HIGH PROFILE
_t 19:10:33:11
IMMEDIATE MEDIA COVERAGE WHICH
_t 19:10:34:20
OTHER BREEDS ARE NOT RECEIVING.
_t 19:10:35:27
>> Emily: TOM BRADY JUST GOT
_t 19:10:39:09
ONE, MAYBE --
_t 19:10:39:22
>> I THINK PART OF WHAT YOU'RE
_t 19:10:41:08
TALKING ABOUT IS THE FACT.
_t 19:10:42:21
THE FACT THAT IN CITY LIKE
_t 19:10:44:07
BOSTON THERE ARE MORE ISSUES
_t 19:10:46:10
REACHING THE MEDIA.
_t 19:10:46:28
I'D ASK YOU ONLY TO COME OUT TO
_t 19:10:49:02
COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND CRIME
_t 19:10:50:02
WATCH AND LISTEN TO MY
_t 19:10:51:16
CONSTITUENTS, THE FOLKS IN MY
_t 19:10:52:16
DISTRICT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
_t 19:10:54:02
IT'S NOT AS INFREQUENT AS PEOPLE
_t 19:10:55:15
WOULD THINK.
_t 19:10:56:02
IT'S THE ORDINANCE OF DRIVEN OUT
_t 19:10:57:06
OF THE DEMAND FROM PEOPLE IN THE
_t 19:10:58:21
COMMUNITY TO SAY, ROB, YOU ARE
_t 19:11:00:06
MY COUNSELOR GET SOMETHING ON
_t 19:11:01:03
THE BOOKS TO HELP US STOP THIS
_t 19:11:04:03
PROBLEM.
_t 19:11:04:09
>> Emily: THANK YOU.
_t 19:11:08:09
WHEN WE CONTINUE, OPRAH WINFREY
_t 19:11:10:20
AS YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN BEFORE.
