Lawsuit filed five days after pit bulls nearly killed a Miami-Dade senior citizen.

Dont let legislation come after people! Keep the ban in place. Exhibiting the dead-game doggedness that helps to make pit bulls themselves intractably dangerous, Miami Coalition Against Breed-Specific Legislation founder/director Dahlia Canes has circled back around to re-grip and attack again, just a year after she failed in a stealth attempt to repeal the county pit bull ban in effect since 1989, and five years after Miami-Dade voters overwhelmingly affirmed the ban. This time Canes’ instrument is a lawsuit filed in federal court on October 11, 2017. This was five days after two pit bulls––one of them misleadingly called “an American bulldog”––nearly killed Palmetto Bay resident Syl Hatfield, 75, during her morning walk.
