There's actually a call up here in Ontario to ban all pit bulls after a 25 year old Toronto man was mauled, and later hospitalized by his own pit bulls (two of them). I really don't know what to think about these dogs, sometimes.

On one hand, you've got a dog that is proned to being very aggressive, not unlike a Doberman or a Rottweiller. At the very least, there needs to be a mandatory law that these breeds be muzzled at all times (except when inside a house or a well fenced yard).

On the other hand, you've got irresponsible owners who don't learn how to properly handle these animals. Sometimes I think it's the owners of these dogs that need to be put down. A lot of people buy these sort of dogs because they fit with their personality. They want the 'macho' dogs, and don't care what these animals are capable of.
