Why the Animus Against Pit-Bull Dogs?

Is Mr. Ujvagi trying to protect the taxpayer against suits brought if these animals are allowed to live, and harm someone? The crowding of the shelter is also a legitimate concern. But there is no effort being made to adopt these dogs (even though the new dog warden was shown holding a pit bull type dog without being mauled). Perhaps the “breed specific” paragraph needs to be removed from the present state law before municipalities will feel comfortable adopting out these dogs to caring owners.

I imagine if a dog was adopted from the county pound and harmed someone that person or his/her family would go for the "deep pockets" of the county for money.
