i just read another question asking does anyone agree with this man he wants ALL of North America to ban this breed. it just makes me so angry that there are actually places in the united states that has done this. it is stupid and so not right. i mean if it was a golden retriever that was biting people are fighting with other dogs then it would be fine.

We live in Colorado and we were faced with a dilemma - give up our sweet dog to be euthanized or leave Denver. We chose to move. Our dog has never hurt anyone, would never hurt anyone - she just has unfortunate cheekbones and a boxy head. What if we couldn't leave? How humane is it to ask families to kill their pets when they haven't done anything?

I believe strongly in owner responsibility. People who's dogs attack should not only lose the animal but also be charged with assault or murder - in essence using the dog as a weapon. But we need to differentiate between a dog problem and a thug problem.

Breed bans do nothing but penalize responsible dog owners. People who seek to do awful things with animals - illegal things- don't give a crap about a law. They're not going to stop breaking a law because what they were using to break the law is illegal.

Plus breed bans are a slippery slope - we'll ban pits and pit mixes, say. Who decides what a dog is a mix of if the lineage is unknown? Shall we sacrifice boxer mixes, too, because they can look like a pit mix? What about American Bulldogs and mixes thereof?

Interestingly enough, most serious maulings and fatal attacks have one thing in common: the dog was unfixed male (of varying breeds - not just of pits). If we want to protect people, instead of banning or requiring seperate licensing of certain breeds, perhaps we should instead look at mandating spay/neuter.

I do too. I think that instead of prohibiting dogs that can be dangerous in the wrong hands (some breeds are a little more prone to being aggressive, tho I know that any dog can be), that owners should be moderated and possibly even need a liscense to own one of these breeds. It's nothing against the breed, but this would ensure that proper owners are caring for these rather than some idiot who wants their dog to be mean and aggressive. Don't ban the dog, ban the bad owners!

I dont think that they should ban pit bulls. Its the people that make them mean. If they go and kill all the pit bulls those same people will fight other breeds. Its not the breed its how they are raised. We cant go killing all the breeds they decide to fight. If we do that then preaty soon they will be fighting labs, or goldens, or poms. We need to enforce the law about not fighting dogs.

a good video about the topic... http://www.pitbullproblem.tk/ it is graphic so yah..

I wish there was a way to ban certain people from owning them. That will not happen, so the breeds will get banned. There are too many idiots that own these type dogs and they will ruin it for everyone else.

I think we should have legislation about over breeding. I work in an Animal Hospital and we still hear about how someone wants their kids to experience the birth of puppies or kittens.

Then we look at the number of animals in shelters, being euthanized to make room for more strays, animals that are abused, abandoned etc.

I think we should make legislation that insists that pets be spayed or neutered. If we decrease population, we also decrease the agreesive characteristics which have been overbred.

I think that all owners should be heavily penalized for any unwarranted dog bite..I don't believe it should be breed specific, but apply to all..
I mean BIG penalties, such as imposing a $5000 fine, and withholding driver's license until it is paid..that kind of penalty..

I also think there should be large penalties for aggressive dogs attacking other dogs...any breed, any time..
Right now, there are no such penalties, and such cases can only be heard in small claims court.

I believe hitting the wallet is the only way to get owners to be more responsible..

I like the idea of licenses for certain breeds. I also think that dog owners should be held liable for damages from their pets. If a parent can be held responsible for minors, then they same should occur with pets. And, I think that if you fail to keep your dog properly locked away (like that sad story in the news recently where the family dogs killed their 2-year old), I think that the dog owners should face criminal charges, manslaughter, neglect, something!

BLS (breed specific legislation) is BS! Ban the foolish owners, the bad breeders, and have the media show the positive as well as the negative. (the media is so one sided, and some people believe everything they hear!)

m'all thinks that it's people who breed dogs to be vicious. with rare exceptions an animal is not vindictive so figure it out. having a ban on certain types of owners is a better idea.

I relatively have not been affected immediately, yet circuitously, my canines is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and due to the media hype around "Pit Bulls", human beings examine out my canines otherwise, like he's risky, yet it relatively is the smaller (majority of the time this is Shih Tzus and Fox Terriers) are those that have shown aggression in the direction of me and my canines. My neighbour and that i've got been given right into a controversy because of the fact i replaced into enjoying fetch on the line with my canines (it replaced right into a quiet highway, very few automobiles), she advised me to "shop my canines on a leash because of the fact he's risky". some all of us is so mis-guided.
