There are good folks who own the breed that I disagree with. It’s on them and their conscience when the dog attacks or kills somebody - because it will eventually.
Nobody defends cockroaches because they are nasty, disease ridden and dirty.
Pit bulls are worse, because to kill is in their DNA.
They are a reflection of the new meanness that Americans have towards each other. It’s a subtle evil. They are already banned in over a dozen countries worldwide and in several states domestically.
To be blunt, I’m against them for the same reasons I’m against abortion. Because both kill innocent people.
I also don't want to see innocent people punished, their liberty restricted in response to something they didn't do.
I am an advocate for and believer in the values and virtues of Individualism, Freedom and Personal Responsibility.
I advocate for responsible dog ownership regardless of breed. I advocate for education being an essential component of responsible dog ownership.
I don't support draconian measures that target and punish millions of responsible owners and innocent dogs.
We can see other areas of society/culture where such draconian measures are being called upon to be imposed on all individuals, guilty or innocent, responsible or not.
I'm sure you can think of a few areas where these tactics are being advocated, perhaps you are even one of those whom the statists have in their 'sights'.
I put it to you that the vast majority of bad behavior by ANY dog, regardless of breed, could be prevented if the Principles of Responsible Dog Ownership are applied.
