I own a pit bull-terrier mix and this dog is the most loving, caring animal I have ever known, especially with my children. A few years ago, my relative was bit by a neighbor's dog. This same dog also seriously attacked another neighbor. Nothing was done to correct the dog's behavior. The dog was a German Shepard. Point being, poor animal behavior is not the dog's fault. It is the owner's fault. And any dog can be dangerous if left unchecked.

This would be essentially the same thing. This is PURE RACISM. Breed specific legislation, is truly supported ONLY BY IGNORANCE.

I know that pitbulls can be harmful and aggressive, some can kill, and some can injure. But what's the difference between the breed and humans? Pitbulls don't know better.
