I hate those breed bans,their stupid as hell. Ban all the Pit Bulls you want,and guess what,the dog attack statistics dont go down. The a-holes that are irresponsible enough to raise a dog thats inclined to attack,just find another breed du jour. Hell before the crack invasion in the states(crack heads want tough dogs) Pits had one of the lowest dog related death rates in the states
Logic says you are right TM, but reality was saying someting else here. There was a long string of high prodile attacks by pit bulls, particularly on children, It just kept happening. There was a large public outcry, and something had to be done. Maybe not the best thing was done, but better that than nothing at all.
Stats bear it out,Britain has had a Pit ban for years,attacks didnt go down,just the number of Pit Bulls. In the states,the Pit isnt the drug dealer dog Du Jour anymore,Pit attacks have dropped,and Rottweiler attacks have risen,ban Rottweillers,they'll just find another dog. Theyre allready starting to use Chows for dogfighting,because theyre more aggresive then Pits and Rotties,so theyre easier to train for dogfighting. And then they'll ban Chows,and then some other dog will take its place.
Unfortunatly just like you cant ban idiots from being parents,its even harder to ban them from owning dogs
Fun factoid,in the states,in 1979 the breed most likely to be responsible for a dog related death was a Great Dane
