Pit bull ban hasn?t cut dog bites - thestar.com

I.
By the way -- you omitted "BY MUCH" after "hasn't cut dog bites." in the quote. The number of dog bites has gone down, just not as much as desired! It takes a while. Remember Ontario did not move all the pit bulls out! The ones already there were supposed to be spayed & neutered and muzzled. But they ARE still there! So, the first 5 years are NOT going to show a huge reduction. But as they start enforcing the spay & neuter, the number of pit bulls will slowly go down and so will the number of serious dog bites.

Remember what I said about statistics showing about anything you want them to? This is an example. sure the numbers have not gone down much yet -- but NEITHER has the actual pit bull population. You have to give the law time to really make a difference in the numbers of pit bulls walking around! Another question would be just how much enforcement has gone along with the law change?
