Which is it? Because I have to say, a lot of people sure seem pretty sick to death of hearing of yet another pit bull attack in the news. Seems like every other week there's one in the news no matter where you're from. Nation-wide that's one hell of a lot of pit bull attacks.
"It's not the dog, it's the owner" -- is that really going to be enough of an argument to keep these dogs from being banned?
If it's indeed not the dog it's the owner then why are the dogs so often destroyed after and attack but the idiot irresponsible owner is let off with barely a fine?
Could it be that at the end of the day it's both the owner and the type of dog?
I'm asking here, don't shoot me.

All dogs need to be treated and trained correctly, no matter what the size. Its only the pit bulls that get the attention because they are so strong and can do a lot of damage. Its the owners responsibility to know that they have a big, strong, dog that if left to its own regards will act out. What happens when you leave a kid without giving it the proper education, exercise and attention - it acts out. A dog will do the same. If a dog it not given the proper care, its going to act out.
Its too bad that the laws do not do enough to keep dog owners to properly care for dogs -and this also includes animal abuse.
