Pitbull kills toddler.......yet again.

[SyberBitch]

I've said this already, but it makes me sad that I'm actually starting to change camps on the 'dangerous breeds' issue. It's not, to my mind, that the dogs themselves are actually any more 'vicious' than any other breed, it's the problem that when the dogs ARE mishandled and DO become vicious, they're simply far more dangerous than other breeds. I would hate to see noble breeds banned into extinction, but I predict it will eventually happen.

I doubt it. This'll get right up there with taking away our guns. Why hasn't it been done yet? Because the government knows that if they went through with it all those Tennessee hicks in the hills would come out and mow them down. What should happen instead is that assholes who mistreat their dogs go to the chair. But, sadly, that wont happen either. :(

I don't know, D. There are already bans on certain breeds in many areas and in others, you can't insure your home if you own certain breeds (or it's prohibitively expensive). I've had people refuse to rent to me, even though they allowed dogs, because one of the dogs was half German Shepherd.
