Well. First guns, then knives, now dogs are to be handed in. I wonder what will be next?

In my experience, it is the mentality of the owners that causes most problems with these dogs. If the owner is smart enough to have the males neutered they are generally smart enough to keep them from harming people (which the neutering plays a great part).

Banning a particular breed across the board is as ludicrous as banning a particular race.

This is liberalism at its height, in my opinion, because it doesn't call for personal responsibility, just blanket rules.

Pisses me off!

By the way, most pit bulls are GREAT dogs. And ALL breeds have some that are aggressive.

Pit.

Bull.

Amnesty.

England is utterly, merrily, insane.

It's a damn shame about these dogs. The breed has been ruined by people. Take a female coon dog, and breed her to a male coon dog, and you'll get puppies inclined to tree coons. Take two mean pits and breed them, and you are likely to get mean pits.

I don't get it. If you have a dog that is illegal and you want to get rid of it, why cant you just use a baseball bat, a plastic bag, and toss it in the "bin"?

Am I missing something here?

First the guns, then the knives, then the dogs, next the pumpernickel, the mustard, the books, the religion and finally the wives and children.

Most people think a pit bull will protect them, but in 90% of the cases, an assailant will take the pit bull away and use it on the owner. Too often children play with a pit bull when the parents aren't home and a tragic accident happens. Or they may bring a pit bull to school and hide it in their locker.

People can bring in their dogs for cash. Hunting varieties for £50, easily concealable varieties fetch £100. We just have to get the pit bulls off the streets. Too often there is a heated argument, and someone pulls out a pit bull.
