   In Cincinnati, for example, pit bulls are still plentiful, despite a 2003 ban that includes penalties of up to 90 days in jail, said Andy Mahlman, operations manager for the Cincinnati Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
   
   At any given time, he said, the shelter might hold as many as two dozen pit bulls picked up in the city -- generally abandoned by owners the city never finds.
   
   Mahlman said the SPCA, which has a contract to provide dog-control services in Cincinnati, doesn't believe that laws geared to one breed are the right way to go.But he acknowledged that pit bulls do present a special problem.
   
   "Generally, we are opposed to breed-specific laws," he said, although the SPCA supports harsh penalties for owners of any aggressive dog that is not properly confined.And he acknowledged that the number of pit bull attacks spiked several years ago after the city relaxed an earlier ban.
