I think it sucks! Why these people can't even identify a pit bull for crying out loud.

I think we should have BSL for people that are responsible for these aggressive dogs. As I always agreed with the saying Ban the deed not the breed. I blame people wholeheartedly and believe they should take responsibility for anything that occurrs with their dogs.

punish the deed, not the breed. white people statistically commit the most crimes, but we haven't banned ourselves now have we?

BSL has not resulted in a decrease in the number of dog bites in areas where it has been enacted. In the few places where dog bites did decrease after a ban was enacted it has been shown to be EDUCATION and NOT the ban itself that resulted in the decrease.

Banning specific breeds will not change the underlying problems behind dog bites. Irresponsible owners will still be irresponsible and continue to do things that result in dog bites. Uneducated people will continue to be ignorant about how to behave around dogs and continue to do things that provoke dog bites. The worst scum (those who abuse their dogs and otherwise encourage aggressive behavior...who are often also engaging in illegal dog fights and drugs) won't even care that their dogs are illegal...it may even make them more desirable. And RESPONSIBLE dog owners, the ones who are doing things to make sure their dogs are least likely to bite, who own these breeds will suffer. Plus, BSL can lead the public into a false sense of security, which could actually make the bite problem worse! After all, if the government has banned the dangerous breeds, then all the dogs on the street must be safe, right?
