I disagree with your personal feelings that all bull dogs should be shot, however I applaud you for your understanding that they are not all cold blooded vicious animals that need to be outlawed before they've done something wrong. A little commonsense is greatly appreciated on these thread because the Kill all Pitt bull brigade will be here any minute.

I don't think we should kill all of them, just keep them in cages or zoos where they belong. Alternately all of them should be required to wear muzzles whenever out of doors. And the owners should be required to carry 10 million in liability insurance and sign a contract which would commit the owners to prison for long spans if their animals ever attack anyone.

No, we don't have to kill them.

I'm here!!!!!! The fact that there are negligent owners who allow an animal to take a human life is the worst. How anyone can equate a human life to an animal is dead wrong. The fact remains that dogs take human life and the greatest percentage of mauling deaths come fom pit bulls and rottweilers. It is selfish and self centered to harbor a dog that could take a human life. It breaks my heart to hear stories of mauling deaths. can you imagine a 10 yr old child being mauled to death by a pair of pit bulls like what happened in Wisconsin. It makes me physically sick. I think the owners should face murder charges if their dogs kill. It is to bad that so many Americans are weak of mind and lack the common sense needed to manage a pit bull, but in absense of a better idea, destroy the breed. No more human life from self centered owners.

I sure hope not, there is no reason to go after one particular breed of dog, just vicious ones, no matter what the breed.
