**BSL ALERT** Woonsocket, Rhode Island

Armed with a grisly catalogue of attacks on people and pets, the Police Department has launched a campaign to persuade the City Council to impose strict new regulations on pit bull terriers. 

Capt. Kenneth Paulhus has compiled more than three years’ worth of reports he says show an alarming trend: Pit bulls are responsible for more dog bites in the city than any other breed, often causing serious injuries that require costly medical or veterinary treatment.
