Pit Bull Regulation is Nonsense


Anyone enacting Breed Specific Law has too little knowledge and too much power. Tragic situations result when current laws are unenforced. More laws are not the solution. Education, and prosecution when appropriate, are the keys.
Get involved and stop the spread of Breed Specific Laws in Wisconsin. Here's a partial list of municipalities that are in need of better information from knowledgeable, sane dog lovers.

Today's TMJ 4


Able and Obey hooked up with Becky Steimle at the TMJ studios this afternoon to preview some of the moves they'll be doing at Kidsfest on Sunday at 3 and 4PM. They took a little breather from the routine to pose for a photo.
