IMLA worked with Best Friends to identify a model for addressing the problem of dangerous dogs. In my career, I had to deal with the problem and tried to find solutions.

Here's an article that I believe reflects the challenges we face when trying to protect public safety from clueless dog owners and a public that favors canine empathy over public safety. https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/partner-content/2023/02/21/pit-bull-facing-death-sentence-has-lots-of-fans-on-instagram?cid=app_share It also reminds me that as IMLA struggles for financial resources that if we were just an animal benevolent association as opposed to an organization dedicated to advancing municipal law that we'd have plenty of money.
