  • Pitbull killings are getting out of hand.

    It might be the owners, but for some reason, pitbull killings of other animals and children is getting out of hand. I'm not sure they should be banned but, they need to be put away when they attack other animals or humans.

    I have had many dogs in my life. Never a bad one Ive seen people mean to there dogs. Triying to make them mean .If you buy a pitbull its because you want to have a mean dog so you tend to do thing to ecourage this behaveor. Ive seen it a million times. ive also seen a pitbull that would not hert a fly as well as other breeds with bad reps .

  • Its not the breed its the person....

    I have three dogs and one is a pitbull. He is the least aggressive of them all. People need to stop labeling pitbulls as vicious. When there is an "incident" by a pitbull, 99% of the time it is a human being that has caused it. I am a mail carrier and there are more dog bites by small dogs like poodles and chihuahuas than pitbulls. A good case in point.....Cesar Millan's (Dog Whisperer) pitbull, Daddy. A great ambassador for the breed.

  • Breeds of dogs should not be banned, as they are a part of life.

    Even if certain breeds of dogs pose a threat to some people, they should not be banned. This is because they represent a part of life and should therefore be allowed to live. We do not kill other species like bears and wolves even though they are a much larger threat to humans.

  • No, because all breeds of dogs can be dangerous, at any given time.

    There has been a never-ending battle on what breed of dog is dangerous. At one point, people thought full-sized poodles were the "bad" dogs, then it was the Dalmatian, and now, it is the pit bull. As a former owner of all the above mentioned breeds, I can tell you that none of them are dangerous. Any breed of dog can be dangerous, if the dog is brought up to be that way.
