maybe so. however according to the OSPCA, 40% of reported dog attacks in Ontario are by Pit Bulls, which only represent 1% of the dog population. hmmm.
Back when the issue was the in-breeding of German Shepherds, or Dalmations, I don't think that the numbers were this skewed. I really believe that banning the breed is a necessary and emergency first step. Since there are so many other types of dogs for pet owners to choose from why not try this 'ridiculous' solution? If it saves even one person, never mind adult or kid, from being mauled, it is well worth it.
Sometimes I think that people's priorities are misplaced, when an obviously dangerous breed, one that has been purposely and selectively created for fighting, is more important than protecting their neighbours. It speaks to a callous disregard for society.
