Even chihuahuas should be leashed in public IMHO.I support leash laws for dog and people safety.
Ban the deed not the breed...
As a staff enthusiast often confused for pits, I can say unequivocally it is against their nature to be aggressive towards humans (with the exception of "blues" pits now being found to have a generic flaw leading to violence).
It takes a pit under stress, mistreated or trained to show aggression towards people, don't believe the hype...unfortunately...once you have an aggressive dog that has been bred to have an excessively strong jaw muscle by breed trait-you get major issues and a very dangerous dog. Public panic ensues...
Off topic: Did you know a fight dog will not bite a human? By nature and training they specifically only show aggression toward other animals...
I's a breed inherent trait...so hmmmm what has to be done to make them aggressive towards people? Blame "sick" people not "sick" dogs...
