    • Legislation is written and backed by those who have no idea what these dogs and their history/background truly are.The American Pit Bull Terrier aka Pit Bull is a singular breed.It's type would be Bulldog and Terrier or Bull and Terrier: http://www.bulldoginformation.com/bull-and-terrier-breeds.htmlThere is no Pit Bull Type as it belongs to another group or type itself.The legislation is typically fear based and the misnomer Pit Bull type is used to cover any and all breeds that have similar distinguishing characteristics.This gives those enacting and enforcing more wiggle room as they wouldn't be able to properly identify any of the breeds typically affected.

    • They can, because they did.It's a damn fool law, written in haste and put simply - it just doesn't work. That's one reason why I tend not to trust the government. If something isn't perfect, and a simple change could make it 10x better - I still wouldn't want a government to get involved because of their ability to make things 10x worse.ETA: @Bob. It's not the questionmer's silly logic, it's the silly logic of the tory government that introduced the asinine law, and the fault of the labour (new tory) government that retained it despite 20 years of failure by every measure that could possibly be applied to it.
