Pit Bulls have actually been banned in the United Kingdom, due to their repeated attacks (many that have actually resulted in death) on humans. If you are discovered with one, or one deemed to be a close enough cross-breed, they are confiscated and destroyed. I also believe you are fined. I wholly support this. They are a dangerous dog breed specifically for aggresiveness.
In Ireland, all dogs in public must wear a muzzle. Not enough to be uncomfortable for the creature itself, but enough to protect people from being bitten. Again, I think this is an excellent law.
I love dogs, but some of them are simply downright dangerous. And spare me the "dogs are just fine, it's just the owners..." nonesense. It doesn't move me the same way the similiar argument about guns being just tools doesn't move me.
