Are pitbulls a topic of conversation because they are big and aggressive or is there maybe some other tidbit not being mentioned here? These dogs have some serious reputation.
And sure, people are too quick to call everything of resemblance a pitbull. But here is a question, why is that not an issue for poodles or terriers? What if the pitbull like dogs have a lot of pitbull in them and happen to be the worst offenders because of it? Maybe if it looks like a pitbull and acts like a pitbull is a pitbull, just not a purebred?
Dont mean to lump it all on you, but those are some questions not being addressed by some here.
Muddying the waters by questioning if a subject dog is 100% pure isn't going to save the next kid that gets mauled.
I dont know if a ban is a way to go, but I really think ownership of this sort of dogs should be controlled. These dogs are just too dangerous to be left with anyone.
