OK, then if your pit bull kills my kid, you should be up for premeditated murder charges.

There is no need for that breed of dog.

Fair enough if all breeds are held to the same standard.

There’s no need for private ownership of any breed of dog. How much knee jerk government intervention in your life are you willing to put up with?

“There is no need for that breed of dog.”

Yes there is. If there is a demand for them, than there is a need for them. Simple economics of free people.

That should be true of any breed of dog, provided that your kid wasn't doing something illegal like trespassing in a fenced and marked enclosure or a residence. Dog owners need to take responsibility for their dogs regardless of the breed. The real problem are the idiots that keep aggressive dogs as a way to demonstrate their machismo. It doesn't matter whether it's a pit, a tosaken or a rottweiler. If you get an aggressive dog, neglect it, don't train it and don't properly contain it, you've got a time bomb on your hands. Unfortunately, this is common among some groups of people.
