For anyone is interested, there is a recent book on Pit Bulls that I just finished reading called, "Pit Bull: The Battle over an American Icon", by Bronwen Dickey. It details many stigmatizing laws that have been enacted, and how they are based on urban legends, pseudoscience, and fear mongering.

The book was well-written, thoroughly researched, and tells a very compelling story of how the most beloved and popular dog breeds in the US and Europe became the most demonized and dangerous of dog - and how the role of humans played a major role in that transformation.

Granted, it's a bit America-centered, but maybe send a copy to some Canadian government officials just the same?
