No Yankee$ fan here...It's a 38 Billion dollar industry, yet the little girl's family with the eye mauled out is probably looking at six figure medical bills which they will pay alone. It appears the loser Pit owner won't have those kind of assets judging by his POS homestead. Yet, the breeder, and the registering orgs who push APBTs as normal, wholesome and loving dogs have no liability.
Just keep pumpin out Pits despite hundreds of thousands of them being euthansized annually.... Is that a great system or what?
Prevent the Deed..
The NY Yankees: finally something we can agree on.
However, among the numerous problems with your 'breed ban' final solution is this:
I know someone with 10 year old, somewhat odd-looking, medium sized (around 45-50 lbs.) dog which, to me, looks little or nothing like the stereotypical 'pit bull'.
When this responsible & conscientious dog-owner initially obtained same from the pound as a puppy/young dog, it was categorized - based upon Lord knows what criteria - as a 'pit bull' type dog.
The dog has never caused anyone any problem & she didn't view its dubious (to say the least!) designation as any particular issue - because it wasn't - for over 8 years ... until ignorant, hysterical, busy-bodies got the ear of morally bankrupt liberal politicians gladly willing to opportunistically kill harmless, loving pets for imagined votes.
She now lives in constant fear that someone - for no reason beyond maliciousness - will make some fabricated complaint to the state which will result in her pet being murdered.
Aside from her justifiable fear, she's had unfair discriminatory expenses for mandatory unneeded restraints and the old dog suffers from now being always required to be constantly leashed & muzzled in public and barred from even 'leash free' areas.
Her story isn't one compatible with any notion of a 'free country', but it's what social fascists are demanding and why - even though I don't own a dog myself -I despise them & the pro-totalitarian, 'useful idiots' who so stridently support them.
Sure, it's just about dogs & their owners -for now - but it's a social concept straight out Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Russia.
I can't imagine how you can look at the sort of evil vermin you're in bed with & still look at yourself in the mirror.
