Find it sad that the same groups that preach not to judge races of people based on the actions of a few do just that with races of dogs.

Thing is not all Pit Bulls are violent aggressors. And if so it's largely the fault of the owner for leaving them out.

There are a lot of irresponsible dog owners who give dogs a bad name.

OK. So start neutering everyone that gets convicted of a violent crime. Cause obviously their bloodline is the problem

Ontario's had a pitbull ban in place for years.

It's really pointless.

You want to put blame on a string of attacks? Blame the idiot dog owners who can't properly raise or care for their own pet.

"Pit Bull" isn't even technically a breed. The American Pit Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier are all called pit bulls.

Idiotic.

I don't like Pit bulls, but that ban is over the top.

it is beyond stupid, but all y'all have to realize that we are talking about a city that once fined a pet store owner for having a parrot that only spoke english and not french

I think even most Montrealers laugh at the absurdity of Quebec's "language police", the ones who whine and cry whenever a store's sign has English lettering larger than French lettering.

You do realize you make yourself look like a fool when you mention something like this that was a joke report made up by the Canadian version of the Onion called The Beaverton.

In England and Wales the Dangerous Dogs Act prohibits the ownership of American Pit Bull Terriers, along with three other breeds. The Act also bans the breeding, sale and exchange of these dogs.[49] Similar legislation in Australia has been criticized by veterinary professionals.[41]

there are a lot of pit bulls in my area

I don't really like dogs (and they even tend to scare me at a certain point, youth trauma), but that's just imbecile.

Same here. I'm a bit scared by the bigger dogs, since I remember being chased by 2 German shepherds when I was just 4 years old and by getting randomly attacked by a dog on the street.

Banning pit bulls is stupid, but not everyone is fit to have a pit bull.

My wife's aunt has a rescued Pitbull that's probably one of the most kind and docile dogs I've ever met. About the only thing you're in danger of around this pup is a lick sneak-attack or being whipped by his seemingly always-wagging tail.

Throw down the hammer on irresponsible dog owners, not the dogs themselves.

I had a little 5 point Pomeranian with the ex years ago and her best friend was an 85 pound pitbull named Jade. T this dog had a 6 pack. Straight muscle. Sweetest thing you'd ever meet. Watching them wrestle was always fun. And would scare ppl regularly in the park if they were play fighting.
