Pit bull controversy, youth employment

The debate over pit bulls is back in the headlines because of the death of 21-year-old Jennifer Lowe. She was attacked and killed by two dogs belonging to her roommate in her home. Her roommate said she considered the dogs family pets.

Her death has once again re-ignited calls for the banning of pit bulls from Knox County. Joining Gene Patterson to discuss the controversy surrounding this incident is Dr. Michael Blackwell, dean of the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine and chairman of the Young- Williams Animal Center.

Later in the program, Sandra Cannon, with the Knoxville Area Urban League, discusses a new program to help local youth gain employment.
