I don't really see that law stopping people from getting pits who really wanted to, and to me it would seem that more disreputable breeders would be around to fill the market. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think banning certain breeds can really solve the problem, more problems will arise from the banning. Humans need to be accountable for their lack of training, but unfortunately I don't see the laws changing anytime soon. a dog bites or attacks they put down the dog. What of the owner? usually nothing right? Sad. |
I agree.. the people who bother getting tags list them as mixed breeds.
I am afraid of large dogs (I guess you could tell by my post) -- if they are agressive at all I am reallly in trouble!! I think MOST aggressive dogs are made that way by the owners. BUT... some breeds have more aggressive problems.. and pit bulls is one. Dobbies used to be an aggressive breed that people were afraid of, but with good responsible breeding that has changed. I have a good friend who breeds and show dobbies.. they play with my pack. Maybe one day the pit bulls will be able to "breed" out their image--I also have friends who have pit bulls and I am told they are sweet hearts!!
I am just so sorry for the lady who was hurt and all the fear this has caused.
