What Can I say? You obviously dont like the breed or else you wouldnt be supporting the ban so strongly. There is nothing I can say to you that will change your mind, same thing for me, you can type all day long, and I'll still think this bill was one of the biggest waste of tax payers money. If you think its protecting you, you really are kidding yourself.

And, yes, there is a problem. If your dog mauls somebody, you fawked up along the lines somewhere. Either you werent supervising them when they were off the leash, you let him get to close to something that he wasnt familiar with (kids, small animals), you left the front door open, whatever, in 99% of the cases I've read, it could have been prevented. Like you said, dogs have a mind of thier own and its up to the owner to control that mind & body.

Im not arguing with you...a pitbull was meant to fight and kill other dogs, they CAN be dangerous, but so can any other dog, and a rotty will cause much more damage than a pitty would. Pitties are a popular dog, so were german sheppards in the 80's, and I remember the picture the media painted about those dogs then. Same fawkin thing is happening right now with bullies. Theyre popular, people like em, so they buy em not knowing what this dog requires training wise. Yeah they probaly have one of the higher bite statistics, but Im sure theyre is more of them than any other breed. Last time I checked the humane sociaty's website, most were bull breed mixes.


And I do educate people on responsible dog ownership all the time. Frig, even the members here ask for my input when it comes to muts. I was watching the hockey game at my freinds house and he has a husky....my dogs gets along with other dogs but I still supervise them all the time. I went to the washroom (had to take one of those wing s***s :P ) and when I got out my dog wasnt there as he usually sits and waits for me. His wife put the dogs outside and left them. I got mad, I told her you shouldnt ever leave two dogs alone in the backyard....she thought I was kidding..."Hes a staff, you NEVER leave him alone with another dog" She still thought I was joking because she knows how well they get along...I had to explain that maybe theres a toy out there that Toot (his/her husky) is really fond of...Mac may go for it and Toot wont like that...Mac probably wont start the fight but I can promiss you he'll finsih it.

Now lets say he attacked a kid in the backyard, 1) its the parents fault for letting there kid play in somebody elses yard with a dog, and 2) it was my fault for taking that s*** and not being out there to supervise. A dog is a dog, there territorial, they'll do what a dog thinks is right.

But please....explain to me how does this ban protects you and your family from dangerous dogs?
