So you think we should ban a breed of dog because one of its kind maimed or killed someone? Then let’s ban all 400-plus breeds, because aggression is not breed-specific. Outlaw the English mastiff, the pit bull, the American Staffordshire terrier and the Rottweiler, and soon it will be the springer spaniel, the Boston terrier and the Old English sheep dog. Eventually, we will legislate some of our best friends into extinction.
Breed bans don’t work. They target all dogs of a breed – the innocent as well as the guilty; are difficult to enforce; and do not end the use of guard dogs by criminals. If pit bulls in their various incarnations are banned, drug dealers and other felons switch to another breed or mix. so why banned? its not gonna help any if we do.
