Pit Bull Chat

By now, you've probably heard the news about Ace.

Ace was an emaciated pit bull that late last week, wandered into an Ace Hardware Store. The well-meaning store owner, who was touched by meeting Ace, called Detroit Animal Control and they came out to pick up Ace.

Unfortunately, Detroit Animal Control has a blanket policy that it does NOT adopt ANY pit bull type dogs -- or, release any of them to rescue groups. So Ace was destined to die.
However, there became a groundswell of support for Ace, and many people around Detroit and around the country pushed for Ace to be given a chance.
On Wednesday night, these advocates got a huge win, when a Wayne County Judge filed an emergency injunction preventing the city from euthanizing Ace, or any dog that resembled Ace.

Unfortunately, in spite of the injunction, the city killed Ace anyway. Yip, in spite of an overwhelming number of people who wanted to help save Ace, and in spite of a court injunction saying they couldn't kill Ace, Ace died at the hands of local authorities.
