From Best Friends Animal Society:
Montana House Bill 191 was introduced on Jan. 7 by Rep. Robyn Driscoll.
This inhumane bill would outlaw "pit bull terriers." It defines "pit bulls" as Staffordshire bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, American pit bull terriers, American bulldogs, and any dog that has the physical characteristics that substantially conform to the standards established for those breeds by the American Kennel Club or the United Kennel Club.
In essence, any muscular short-haired mixed breed dog could be removed from their guardians and killed. The guardian would have the expense of proving that their dog was not a "pit bull."
The bill would grandfather in existing dogs whose guardians register them as "pit bulls," but would destroy any "pit bull" that is not registered.
