I do feel ignorance and fear play a huge role in why people push to have certain breeds banned. In the media we never see service dogs or other working dog's contributions- we see CHILD MAULED BY PIT BULL all over the front page. Whether or not the readers have ever had a bad experience with the breed these countless headlines become ingrained opinions of the breed taught through repetitive headlines.

Why also would you give other breeds two chances to bite and not pits? Poodles can be aggressive along with any other breed whats the difference? I agree people should have to pay any bills associated with an attack from their pup unless it occurs in their fenced yard or is in response to an attack from another, but seriously pits are no more aggressive than any other dog and should be treated the same
