These are two different articles. There is a move here to instate a new policy that will destroy bullies, shepherds, etc. ASAP when they are brought to shelters in Cumberland County animal shelters.
This is where the power of the internet can really be used.
Cumberland County: The Animal Control Board met on Oct. 3 and discussed a proposal to limit breeds put up for adoption. The Animal Control Board decided to recommend limiting the adoption of the following breeds:
• Rottweilers
• American Staffordshire Terriers
• Pit bulls
• Chows
• Presa Canarios
• Any mix of the breeds above
The policy has not been implemented at this time and has not been brought before the Board of Commissioners for approval.
We do have a breed specific problem here in Fayetteville, NC. We receive 200+ calls a day from citizens who are being chased, bitten, pets attacked, or generally terrorized by dogs. Over 80% of these calls are concerning Pit Bulls. I have 6-8 officers on the road each day to try to protect the public. I am open to suggestions but breed rescues here are not taking any more to rescue or foster until homes can be found. Adopting more into our community seems to be adding to the problem. To date we have taken in more than 1200 Pit Bulls and adopted 124 into our community. Please let me know what I can do to protect our citizens while humanely treating our 4 legged friends.
I have been Director for just over a year now and our adoptions have increased from 700 a year to over 2000 a year. I am looking for any solutions and willing to listen to anyone's ideas while protecting our citizens.
Respectfully:
Dr. John A. Lauby CVCP, Director

Fayetteville, NC 28306
My idea is to instead instate a law prohibiting breeding in the area. This should help.. because I guarantee it is part of the problem.
Thank you for your time.
PLEASE, if you have a moment, go to the above links and copy the form email and send it to the people listed. YOU CAN HELP STOP THIS! HELP SAVE DOGS THAT CAN BE PLACED IN A GOOD HOME!
