Should we ban some breeds?

[Sathington Willoughby]

I don't think any breeds should be banned, but why are pugs on that list?
What could a pug possibly do to get banned in a town?

Boston Terrier? Labrador & Golden Retriever? Wow.

I think it would be interesting to see the sourcing of that information as well as the communities in which these breeds are banned.

Pugs breathe awfully loud - I could see a ban for that.

Is it ok for another breed to bite? I think that a GSD or Rottie bite, for example, can be just as bad if not worse than a pit bull bite.

I once took a Rottie bite on a sleeve - WOW! I would hate to have one mad at me!

I think she might, might have meant pits shouldn't be biting, because they're bred with a lot of aim at them NOT being human-aggressive. Most bulldog owners kill their pit for unwarranted aggression to people... Whereas GSD/rotties are guardians, meant to dissuade people and animals to protect.

The way I see it is this. GSD/rottie are gaurdian breeds. The pit bull are not, and if they bite a human there is something wrong mentally and they shoudl be destroyed but maybe thats just me.

No, that is the thinking of a LOT of responsible bulldog owners. It is not true to the breed to be human aggressive in any way... Thus those dogs are culled because for an APBT to be human-aggressive mean there is generally something wrong mentally with the dog.

No breeds should be banned. The ones who should be banned are the idiots who abuse and neglect them.

Bingo... There should be stricter leash laws, and fines for allowing a dog to be loose or not properly contained and tried one dog at a time, how is it effective to kill or restrict dogs who've never hurt a soul and probably never will?

ANY time I've had a problem with a loose dog, it's an easily fixable problem at home... A loose screw in the gate, fence is too short, dogs dig under, dogs bolt out the door, weak tie out - you name it! All easy fixes.
