Huron Valley Humane in Ypsilanti, Michigan Humane, and the Wayne County Sheriff have all been involved in raids. Several years ago, MHS was going out and teaching officers in other municipalities how to spot signs of dogfighting, gathering evidence, etc. There have been numerous dog-fighting busts here in Michigan since the Michael Vick case came to light.

I know, it's expensive and a terrible economy...

I need to *hear* if they sound wishy-washy about their position or if it is a firm position. I don't want to buy a house that I then have to abandon because they make some stupid BSL! I'll e-mail WonderBull with a summary of my conversations. I’m going to start contacting the councillors by phone.

If I can, I'd like to get more 'behind the scenes' info so I can decide if I should just take Warren off my list of possible cities. Diana has my e-mail address in Indianapolis if you want to contact me off the board.

At that time, council members indicated that an independent meeting would be convened to discuss the BSL issue, to determine whether or not the draft ordinance will appear on future agendas. Word is that one or two pit bull advocates will be invited to attend this meeting, and actively participate in the discussion. I have not heard anything since. To my knowledge, it is still possible it could rear its ugly head again. Nothing new since July 28th, when the council took BSL off the agenda a second time.
