BALTIMORE, May 8 (UPI) -- Animal rights activists are pressuring Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley to promptly introduce legislation which would deem pit bulls safe, officials say.
The legislation would override a Maryland Court of Appeals decision which deemed the dog breed dangerous. Maryland Votes for Animals and other groups have urged residents to call O'Malley's office to ask him to introduce the legislation during the special General Assembly session to be held Monday.
