I own dogs, but I believe pit bulls should be outlawed. It killed that woman’s little terrier, think what it could do to a toddler. Pit bulls have killed adults or severely injured them numerous times. All this stuff about “if you raise them right they’re not violent” may be true, or may not, but it seems people who choose pit bulls as pets are the very same types not inclined to raise them right or keep them restrained. Therefore for the public safety, a breed that is proven to be dangerous should be illegal.

Do you have a good enough description of a pit bull to ban them?

That’s a pretty harsh thing. Something you would expect a leftist to say. All the talk on this forum of how the dems and the media are biased gets tossed when it comes to pit bulls.I also own dogs , a chihuahua and a great dane, and have owned a pit bull, great dog! I have friends that own pitbulls but I’m not sure if they’re the kind of people who raise them right.

Well said.

I just don’t understand the point of one. Are most bad? No. But why own something with that kind of destructive power when there are so many other breeds out there that can provide you companionship without the ability to kill neighbors, your kids, other dogs, etc, etc. These things are dangerous animals. They have amazingly powerful jaws and are bred to not quit.
