What is your opinion on pit bull bans?

it is a good thing and causes many to not get hurt.

I agree and disagree. My dog is a schnauzer but the breed is like pits ; but schnauzers esp mine are protective and aggressive. Though he wasn’t trained right he wasn’t socialized right. He’s also cranky old too. I love him but scarring people can lead to a ticket and loss of life. He’s never harmed someone physically. And in that nature I am reminded by pits. Maybe we should ease laws. They need trained but that doesn’t solve genetic trauma

When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Seraphim of Sarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural); forgive me.

I personally think that it's completely unfair. This is because since a dog's temperament depends largely on their early life experiences as a puppy i.e. their socialization and training - or a lack of it - there are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners.

In the country where I'm from (England) Pit Bulls are a banned breed under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and the 1997 amendments. It's also illegal to own a Dogo Argentino, a Fila Brassileiro, a Japanese Tosa, or a hybrid mix of any of these breeds in England, because they're seen as so called, 'dangerous dog breeds'.

However, despite these rules, there is a loophole to it. If someone wants to own a 'dangerous dog' as a pet, they can, provided that they can prove to the courts that the dog isn't a danger to the public. However, in order to do this, they must follow very strict rules. These are:-

- people must have a certificate of exemption which has been both signed and stamped by the courts to show their approval.

- the dog cannot be advertised or given away, not even as a gift.

- the dog must be neutered, micro chipped, tattooed on the inside of their rear left leg, and be covered by third party insurance.

- it is illegal to use a 'dangerous dog' for breeding.

- whenever the dog is in any public place, they must at all times be muzzled, leashed and walked by a handler who is at least 16 years of age or older. This is in order to ensure that the dog is kept well under control.

Also under the dangerous dogs act, if someone is found to be breaking these rules and allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control, they can suffer harsh punishments, because doing so is a criminal offence. The penalties are:-

- confiscation and destruction of the dog.

- being banned from owning any dog as a pet again, either temporarily or permanently.

- being fined up to £5000

- imprisonment for up to 6 months, or potentially up to 2 years if a dog has been allowed to have caused physical harm.e.g. if someone has been bitten.

There are too many good pitties to just ban the whole breed.

Temperament testing should be available when dogs get their rabies shots.  Those that fail the test should be euthanized.  Weed out the nasty dogs & keep the good ones.

Prohibition doesn't work, no matter what Country you live in.  I happen to live in the USA and am Facebook friends with a very wonderful contributor here who lives in the UK, and she just proved to me a few days ago about some things that some people have no understanding of.  Where she lives, cropping and docking is banned, as are Pit Bulls, but she told me about a BOMB PROOF PIT THAT SHE KNOWS OF, and also a docked and cropped Doberman who's been abused and looking for a home.  How does a non working PET get docked and cropped in the UK or pretty much anywhere in Europe?  I know, and she showed me the proof which was very sick.

Sleep tight tonight.  We all have our differences about anything, but rest assured, a Pit Bull ban is small potatoes compared to the entire picture.

If it's an insurance decision based on profit and loss, the increase the premiums based on the breed instead of banning the entire breed.

Pointless. It hasn't stopped attacks like people thpught, hasn't stopped dog fighters like people thought, and is punishing owners of good dogs who havent done wrong. 

Sounds good to me. Mainly because they are ugly dogs.

same as gun bans, foolish
