Do you think some dog breeds should be banned?

No, it's not fair and it won't solve any problems. Bad owners will continue to corupt other breeds and then what? By bad owners I don't just mean abusive I mean neglecful, irresponsible, passive, and submissive owners as well. I hear so many people say that a Pit Bull from a great family attacked a kid. The fact is the family may have been nice but they probably spoiled the dog and didn't bother to socialize or dicipline the dog which can result in dog attacks because the dog is faced with an unfamiliar situation and bites out of fear. I think if anything these people need to go through a psychological evaluation, training classes, and be able to demonstrate control of the dog prior to being allowed to owne them. This way they only go to presentably responsible people who can properly care for them. While I don't agree with breed discrimination I am willing to compromise for the preservation of the breed. The last thing I want is for my Rottie to be euthanized. Honestly I would move before I allowed someone to control the breed of dog in which I own.

No! Ban the ignorance among the masses that is causing these issues!!

I have a problem with bans on specific breeds because what constitutes a breed that is so dangerous no one can have one. when I was 10 or 11 we lived in a suburb of nothing but houses and corn fields and we had families all over with dogs of many breeds. In the first 3 years there were 5 kids attacked by German Sheppard's, and 1 Black Lab. We didn't run out and demand all German Sheppard's be destroyed, The owners started putting fences around their yards and miraculously the dog bites stopped. So it may not be the dogs fault that somebody got chased or bitten or scared. We could have asked for a ban on German Sheppard's way back then but we found that the kids that got attacked were teasing the dogs. So be carefull what you ban because it may be your dogs breed that's next.

NOPE!! Not the dogs fault...

BLS is a flawed concept from the moment it is conceived. In most cases the dogs are targeted leaving the owner, which is the responsible, rational thinking party out if it. Some impose fines along with their laws but are often no enforced to the maximum so the owner gets a slap on the wrist.Dogs are not the problem and BLS dose not recognize this. People are the problem and until we find a way to punish people for their neglectful actions which allow dogs to bite and terrorize the public we will never stop the problem.First problem is take one breed away, these people will find another breed to replace it. In most places were APBT have been ban the rottweiler is now on the rise as the most popular breed. Now they are taking the heat from BLS and its supporters. They will agin restrict a breed just to have another take its place. This will happen till they run out of large breed dogs and we have lost our right to have the breed of dog we love. BLS can be compared to gender and racial profiling.Media reports lead the public to believe that packs of roaming Pit Bulls are more likely to bite than the neighborhood dog on his leash. Over 80% of dog bites occur when the dog is with its owner or ON his owner’s property. A large number of small children are bitten by dogs they know while visiting the dog’s home. Because stories of pit bulls stimulate fear, the media is likely to report all cases of biting pit dogs or pit mix but oit stories of injury by poodles and spaniels [which is the most frequently reported biters]. In addition, the media reports “attacks” when guarding breed barks at or chases someone even when no one is injured. This adds to the public’s perception that this type of dog is more dangerous than any other dog. Some statistics lump several breeds into one category and report that “ PIT Bulls” cause more serious bites that any other breed. This would be similar to counting all bites inflicted by Retrievers [Golden, Duck Tolling, Flat Coats, Lab, etc.] and comparing that total to bites inflicted by miniature wirehaired Daschunds. It would appear that Retrievers are much more dangerous than the Daschunds.A report about the local Labrador Retriever that attacks and maims a child isn’t considered newsworthy No one wants to believe that any family dog, the cute and fuzzy kind, are capable of biting. It’s much easier to blow up and sensationalist a story about a vicious dog when it’s a member of a breed who’s reputation precedes it. Pit Bull are already considered the demons. All reporters have to do is stand in front of the camera, look horrified and say, “A pit bull did it.”So why is it then that more BLS laws are implement daily? God forbid a person have to take responsibility for their irresponsible actions and BLS supports these people by not placing very harsh punishments on them.

No but, I dont think many people should be allowed to own them. Certain breeds should require the potential owners to be certified.

I think some people should be banned not dogs... dogs are the only thing in this world that love you more than they love themselves

i think the people that raise the to fight should be banned.

Prejudice is a terrible thing. The more laws we make banning it, the more people look for a new thing to be prejudiced against. I guess it is the ugly part of human nature. To categorize anything into one lump is a very stereotypical and uneducated thing to do. We do it to people, why not dogs? The same people who support banning breeds may next decide to do book burning at their local schools. It is all fed by fear and ignorance, like any other prejudice. Then you get a bunch of "sheep" together, and you have a movement.It really is too bad that some people can't stand on their own two feet and form their own educated opinions.And I don't even really care for pitt bulls-wouldn't own one. Not because I think they are viscious, but because that look and size doesn't appeal to me. I have friends with pitt bulls and they are welcome at my home anytime.

No, just ban owners!

NO to BSL.I also think that one should have to be lisenced to keep a pet. This world is full of MORONS. We need to protect the little doggies from them.
