Like I said, it is these types that are going to get the entire breed banned.

Idiots who leave their pb tied or chained in the yard all day and neglect him/her.
Mullet-wearing morons who get pb's "because they're cool" and they intimidate the neighbors
Idiots who just don't know what they're doing and get a pb as a family pet, not having the least clue how to properly train a dog.


Some say pitbulls get a bad rap in the media. All I can say is that every single dog attack that gets reported and where someone got injured all make the news here, not just those involving pitbulls. ALL. It just so happens that most (as in more than half) do involve pitbulls. Thus people are sick of hearing about them.

I would agree about punishing the owners more rather than an outright banning, but either way something has to be done. I hazard a good guess a lot of goverments are leaning towards going the banning route though.
