> Do you have a good enough description of a pit bull to ban them?
Like some famous lawmaker said of pornography: “I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it.”
As with pornography, so with pit bulls: because they are mungrel mutts there is no standard “breed description”. That is part of the whole problem!
So, the ban needs to encompass “dangerous mungrel mutts that look like, and behave like, pit bulls.” As descriptons go, that is more than adequate.
What a crock! There are plenty of breeds that bite and are aggressive but they don’t make the news.We don’t like pit bulls so PLEASE ,Mr. Government, please protect us from them and make them illegal.
Yes, just what the government needs,free reign to come into your house and decide whether or not your boxer, weimeraner, or catahoula looks enough like a pit to be carted off and destroyed.
Peta will be grateful for your help in eliminating animal ownership.

That’s pretty much the kind of description used to outlaw “assault” rifles a few years ago. It worked then— it’ll work again.
