"The breeds most often involved in fatal attacks are Rottweilers and Pit bulls." "In the United States, pit bulls make up one to three per cent of the overall dog population and cause more than 50 per cent of serious attacks." I have no problem letting this bred beast die out. http://www.dogexpert.com/Dog Bite Statistics/DogBiteStatistics.html
It's like owning a pepperbox or black powder revolver, lots of people have used them without incident, but sometimes they explode in your hand.
Jeeze dude, do you bother reading your own stupid bullshit? That article you quote says that about TWENTY AMERICANS PER YEAR are killed by dog bites. That means TEN of them are killed by pitbulls! Are you really going to go off on a crazy toot over something that trivial??? More Americans are killed by BEE STINGS. More Americans are killed by LIGHTNING. Where's your righteous outrage over that? Have you bothered to look up how many innocent Americans are killed by incompetent-swaggering-thug COPS every year??? Maybe we should euthanize all the goddamn COPS! It's people like you who got our government spending trillions of dollars and upsetting the entire world order to protect us from TERRORISTS, who have killed a total of three thousand Americans in THIS ENTIRE CENTURY, when for a fraction of that money they could install a breathalyzer ignition interlock in every car and protect us from DRUNK DRIVERS, who kill FIFTEEN THOUSAND of us every year! Americans are totally incompetent at risk analysis (or for that matter anything that involves numbers), and you're a textbook example. You didn't even bother to read the entire article you quoted from. That is just utterly dishonorable! Get a life!
Nice. A sweeping generalization to be sure, but alas, one that all too often turns out to be correct. In any case, with respect to the OP, I just thought I'd note that Pit Bulls are indeed banned here in Ontario at least.
That is true and they provide absolutely no function. They are never used for guard dogs (except for some crack houses) and they would not even exist if it were not for human intervention. I am not saying to exterminate them just do not allow them to reproduce, they wont even know what is happening.
If people who truly loved their animals were the only one's who owned them then there wouldn't be shows like Animal Cops (I hate that show). The way I see a lot of people in my neighborhood treat their dogs and cats, I wonder. I could be wrong, but people who love their animals usually feed them and don' hit them with tools, like hammers and bats.

its not the dog that makes itself vicous its the owners, pit bulls do make really good family pets, and some of the kdis who have been left with these dogs are bought up by owners who don't care, it is always a rule if you have a sog and then have kids you should extra viglent about leaving the kid with the dog, its not the dogs fault
Instead of banning them, couldn't we let them fight each other till none are left. That would make everyone happy.
