Should we ban some breeds?

Please vote. It's not just pit bull dogs, many other breeds are affected and BSL should be fought any time you have the chance...

Ban from what? For what reasons?

W.Oliver · 07-25-2010, 03:28 PM

No, we should not ban breeds, we should ban owners!

BSL, banning certain breeds from counties/cities/neighborhood based on looks and reputation alone. Breeds people fear, like GSDs, Rotties, Pit Bulls, Dobe's, American Bulldogs ect. are affected by BSL, and any dog deemed to be a breed that is banned.

And polls like that are brought up a lot when a city meets to discuss BSL.

The reasons? Ignorance and fear.. They go hand in hand.

Got it. No, no breeds should be banned. I have owned three of the breeds you listed and they were all wonderful pets.

My pit was a rescue and one of the best dogs I'd ever had though they are banned in the US in many cities because of irresponsible owners. I also grew up with dobes my whole life another amazing breed IMO so no I don't think breeds should be banned at all- but yes irresponsible owners should. I think anyone ever found guilty of fighting, beating, or other animal abuse should never be able to own another dog again- EVER. A lot of issues would be resolved with these highly feared breeds

No the reason is irresponsible pet owners and breeders trying to make certain breeds what they will never be. I think that there should be some very tough repercussion for dogs who bite more than once and for pit bulls one bite and done the owner should be held responsible in many ways, hospital bills, jail time etc. Unless someone is on your property or comes within a leash length of the dog.

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

because pits should not be biting and if the owners wont do the right thing the government will eventually.
