I don’t have a list of dogs to ban, except for pit bulls. But I do think that if you ban pit bulls because they are dangerous, then it makes sense to look at the stats on some of the other dangerous breeds as well.
Brilliant, thank you for your post. I know that these pit bull threads can get a bit heated at times.
I’m obviously very much against breed-specific legislation (BSL).
I know that Pit Bulls currently have a pretty bad reputation. Well, Dobermans had a pretty bad reputation back in the 1970s. I remember hearing that Dobermans were vicious by nature and unpredictable “killing machines”. There was even a wives’ tale that a dobie’s brain grew too large for its skull and essentially made the dog crazy. What happened with this breed? Why are they not in the news anymore? Were they truly dangerous by nature, or were they a popular dog to be owned by irresponsible people who got them because they looked scary?
