I agree owners need to be responsible.
Picking out a single breed for elimination is not only wrong but unrealistic.
Unenforceable laws are a costly waste of time.
Contrary to the media hype; all APBT are not naturally vicious. I know from years of experience. I also would probably believe otherwise if all I had to base my argument on was the media.
I actually leave the house and get real world experience.
Nothing that I say about Pits is based on the media. The data, factual data is out there if you chose to look. You are repeating the pit bull owners propaganda line. Here are a couple that I use when preparing data for prosecution.
http://www.dogbitelaw.com/PAGES/statistics.htmlhttp://www.dogsbite.org/blog/2008/08/insurance-institute-releases-2007-data.html Pits make up from 9-12% of the pet dogs in this country but are responsible for almost 60% of the K-9 homicides. They are responsible for more fatal attacks than all other breeds combined. This has nothing to do with the media and everything to do with recorded factual data.
If you wish to continue to lie to yourself that is great but your statements don't live anywhere near the truth. These dogs have been identified specifically by many different laws and they are getting convictions all the time. No criminal element has a 100% compliance with any law. Laws of this nature are used as tools to eliminate the threat and make people accountable for their decisions and actions. If you wish to challenge this data, go for it. I'm really interested in any factual, provable truth type documentation that you can bring up. The I feel, or I know stuff is an insult to rational thought. Facts, provable truth only please.
