Bad Idea. Those dogs were keeping the baby population in check.
And assholes will find another breed to abuse and turn mean. I remember when German Sheppards were the dangerous breed you needed to be afraid of. Then it was Doberman Pincers. Then it was Rottweilers. Now it’s pits.
Pits were literally bred to be aggressive and are innately so. No one questions the purpose of a Labrador retriever or a greyhound. People aren’t abusing pit bulls to turn them mean, not by a long shot. They’ll easily turn on loving owners for no reason at all.
Pointers naturally point, retrievers naturally retrieve, heelers naturally try to corral things, bloodhounds will naturally track by scent, but oh, a fighting dog would never fight without being trained to do so.
I totally believe the family that owned a dog that killed someone to be honest about that dog’s temperment.
These breeds should have never existed, but now we have to deal with these animals. It’s unfortunate, but necessary to ban them.
I wish governments all over the world would take a closer look at breeds being created and sold. There should be clear rules against breeds that further health problems for the sake of aesthetics. Not to mention intentionally aggressive behaviour.
Everyone being like “well they’ll just make other breeds”, like so the fuck what? You want to argue that we need to increase enforcement against breeders of illegal breeds? Sure, do that, but that doesn’t change the fact that this breed should still be banned.
I have a feeling this wont be the last breed they ban…
