I wasn't going to touch this topic because of 2 personal experiences with beautiful, wonderful "Pitts" who suddenly, "went bad." My Gus was a beautiful dog, and I couldn't and still don't love him any less today then I did then. I got him when he was about 12 weeks old, literally was thrown down a berm from the thruway...he was my little boys best friend and a clutsy big dog who thought he was a lap dog! Not a bad bone in his body until one day and try as I might the only thing I can come up with is it had to be his "breeding"...anyways, I don't want to start a firestorm, or a pro or anti anything...my family loved that dog he was very special for 5 1/2 years.

What I will say is that banning of any breed is a "genocide" of a living thing. That is unacceptable, I do believe that ownership of animals (never mind my thoughts on children) needs to be more regulated with the best interest of all involved. I am not saying I know how or the answer to how this can be done, but it does need to be done. But banning of a breed? this is crazy and should not be tolerated by any pet owner or otherwise.

I speak from personal experience and despite my experience I stand by what I say...this is wrong, wrong, wrong.....

(no human was injured in my case)
