You missed my point. The problem doesn't lie with the 'nice pit bull' owners or the 'used to be sweet pit bulls' -- it still lies with those who are breeding the negative temperament into this group of dogs (pit bulls aren't a breed, btw). In other words, that 'previously nice pit bull' likely traces back in its line to the
humans that ruined the line. Again, the rise in 'pit bull' aggression originated with
people.
At the end of the day, if we allow discrimination against any one breed - then we are allowing it for all breeds. I guess we all have to look within and decide how we truly feel, morally, about breed discrimination since it relates to ALL breeds. If we believe in discriminating against pit bulls, then we must therefore believe it's allowable to discriminate against yorkies and all other breeds. I'm categorically against breed disrimination. I believe in fixing the problem, not the symptom.
