AR-News: (AU) Hope for pit bulls

BANNED pit bull terriers could again become legally available in Queensland 
if proposed animal welfare initiatives are adopted.

The recommendations are part of an attempt to devise uniform policies 
throughout Australia on animal cruelty, safety and care. 
The first draft of the strategy – being developed by the national 
consultative committee for animal welfare – will go to the Federal Government for 
approval in April, and specific initiatives are expected to be drawn up from May. 
Executive director of Animals Australia and committee member Glenys Oogjes 
said the group would debate the strict dangerous-dogs laws in force in 
Queensland. 
"In Queensland animals deemed to be pit bull terrier types cannot even be 
kept and can be seized and put down, but they are allowed in Victoria," Ms Oogjes 
said.
