[Dr. Sivana]

You are comparing a wild animal to a domesticated one.

Breed specific legislation has nothing to do with restrictions on ownership of wild animals.

The line between pure domestic and pure wild is a fuzzy one. Some breeds take better to domesticity to others. Some dogs are cross-bred with wolves, or cats with servals (wild cats), etc. There are hundreds of wonderful dog breeds. Why do people insist on having a specific breed when there are so many needy dogs who don't have such a miserable track record?

“Why do people insist on having a specific breed when there are so many needy dogs who don’t have such a miserable track record? “

Such a progressive train of thought undergirding this sentiment. How dare other people select a dog breed based on their personal temperaments, needs and preferences. They should pick one of the breeds *I* find acceptable.
