[quote=Anonymous]Uh, you are talking about two drastically different things.

1) Breed bans--making it illegal to own certain breeds.

2) Dangerous dogs being returned to families, regardless of breed.

The first has been proven to be ineffective.  First, it's nearly impossible to identify mixes--and at what point is a mix considered the "dangerous" breed?  If it is 25% pit, is it a pit?  If it looks like a bully breed, is it "dangerous"?  Second, take away one breed, and the scumballs will find a new breed to play with--or they'll own it anyway.  If they are engaging in dog fights, they don't exactly concern themselves with legality.

The second is a legitimate issue.  Dogs who are convicted of bites/attacks need to be on the dangerous dog registry (meaning there is a large fee paid each year, the dog has to be behind multiple barriers, cannot be in the vicinity of children, cannot be in public unmuzzled, etc), or put down.  It will not be adopted out to an unknown stranger or shipped out of state.[/quote]
