“I know you weren’t addressing me, but I do have a solution to this....prevention. That is the only way to fix the situation. If we try to get responsible ownership laws passed, not only will we see a decline in pit bull attacks, but attacks from all breeds. In the rare instance that an owner has truly done right by their dog and it simply “snaps”, we can honestly say that particular dog should be euthanized and move on, hoping to learn whatever we can from the incident so as not to repeat it. Why not give it a chance? The people who are already doing the right thing will not have to worry about having their pets taken away because they fit the generalized standard for “pit bull-type”, and the ones that everyone already complains about but can’t seem to get anything done about will pay the piper.”

Excellent solution to the problem! Thanks for posting it... now.... if we could just get this through to lawmakers to start enforcing it instead of pushing for BSL laws. From your lips to God’s ears!

It helps (I think, even though it may fall on deaf ears a hundred times for every one time it doesn’t) to tell everyone you know what you know, and give sources. I am particularly fond of the laws passed in Calgary. They have not had to ban any types of dogs, yet have seen a dramatic decrease in attacks, as well as having close to 100% of their dogs licensed! This is the kind of legislation our country needs to mirror, not the failed, yet often cited UK bans, which have been proven ineffective by the fact that their serious attacks have increased since it was enacted.

You two are making way too much sense to be on this thread.
