(78,249 posts)13. That one's not that simple, nor, it seems, terribly effective.

Yulonda Mitchell, eh? That's kind of an unusual name. Wonder what race she is?
So she complied with a long list of regulations that only apply to pit bulls in Sikeston put up a beware of dog sign, get insurance, put on a hard collar on the dog, take multiple pictures and so on....
About 20 dogs from Sikeston were shipped up to St. Charles to make room for seized pit bulls in Southern Missouri. The reported pit bulls may have no reported problems. Some may not even be pit bulls, like Yulonda Mitchells dogs. Mitchell said officers took her brothers dogs, even though she believed they were bulldogs.
She said her family dogs were, licensed and up to date on their shots. We did everything, you know, complied with the City ordinance but they still wanted to remove the dogs.
Chris Hayes asked, This was a family pet?
Mitchell, It was a family pet.

The problem with complying is that they (the city) have no idea what they are enforcing.
