COLUMBUS – A ”pit bull” would no longer be deemed an inherently vicious dog by virtue of its existence under a bill overwhelmingly passed by the Ohio House Thursday.
The measure now heads for the Senate, which is unlikely to deal with the issue before lawmakers recess for the summer next week.
“I’m offering this amendment to ensure that we’re not capturing, impounding, and terminating an animal simply based on its breed,” said Rep. Matt Szollosi (D., Oregon).
“It is unjust to punish owners by taking their pet even if they have raised a well-behaved, family friendly dog,” he said.

Lou Reed And Wife, Laurie Anderson Stage ‘High-Frequency’ Dog Concert

US rock star Lou Reed and his artist wife Laurie Anderson are to stage a “high-frequency concert” for canines in Australia.
Music for Dogs, to be held outside the Sydney Opera House, is billed as “an inter-species social gathering on a scale never seen before in Australia”.
The bizarre recital in June will be largely inaudible to the human ear.
The couple said they have experience making music for at least one dog – their rat terrier, Lollabelle.
“She likes things with a lot of smoothness but with beats in them,” Ms Anderson told the Sydney Morning Herald.
She said the inspiration for the performance at the Vivid Live festival in Sydney came while she was backstage at an event and thought: “Wouldn’t it be great, if you were playing a concert and you look out and you see all dogs?”
The show, created by Ms Anderson, will last for 20 minutes as she says “dogs don’t have a giant concentration span”.
The sounds will be played at high frequency like a dog whistle, setting dogs’ ears twitching but barely audible to their owners.
It is billed in the festival programme as “an absolute must for any dog and their two-legged friends”.

POLK CITY– Deputies took custody of 261 dogs Thursday – the largest seizure in Polk County history – and arrested the owners of a Polk City non-profit dog rescue organization on animal cruelty charges.
Chuck and Diane O’Malley, who operate Mid-Florida Retriever Rescue Inc. at 15195 Angus Road were booked into the Polk County Jail with bail set at $130,500 each. Each was charged with 261 counts of animal cruelty.
Sheriff’s deputies were called anonymously Wednesday by someone who complained about the condition of the dogs and the environment they were living in, Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said.
“What we found was absolutely startling,” he said.
