And why is it so important to society that people should have the privilege of owning a dangerous dog? And how is your desire to socialize your dog any solution to the problem?

No offense to you personally ... but all I'm hearing is a lot of selfish whining about "what I want" and no concern whatsover about the fact that people are at risk in our society due to dog attack.

Thats a big thing that bothers me about this ban...how the fawk are you suppose to socialise your Bull breed when it isnt allowed in parks, can't be off leash, has to be muzzled...etc.  This dog requires serious socialisation at a very young age, yet this law prevents responsible owners from doing just that.  How is it helping the situation?

f*** do you ever have it wrong. I love this breed, I will do everything I can to make sure it doesnt go instinct. But I'm not selfish, I know people are sacred of the dog. I REALLY know there scared of the dog, and I take those feelings into account when I introduce my dog to them. I go outisde with a 6 foot hgih fenced in backyard to make sure these things dont happen when I know my dog wont do it anyways. Do you thtink I like going outside in the rain with him? Not realy, do I do it for me? Not really, I do it for you and your family that is walking by. You see my 'pitbull' looking dog in the backyard while your walking by with your kids, yet you feel comfortable when you see his master standing right behind him, with a 6 foot high fence between you. Selfish? Fawk you.

Your confusing my strong love for this dog with other things. You see it as a dangerous dog, I know what they can do, but I don't see my dogs as dangerous.
