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.
We have a little Lhaasa Apso that showed up in our yard a couple of years ago. He's the sweetest little thing, unless he thinks he's being cornered, and then he becomes very aggressive. We love him but wouldn't recommend having him around children. To a large extent it depends on the upbringing the dog has had.
