[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I definitely think we should regulate based on categories.  Men are more likely to be violent and aggressive (just look at all the mass shootings) so let's round them up and keep them carefully contained and not let them have access to guns.  Because you never know when a man is going to lose it because, hey, that's what men do.[/quote]

Thanks for demonstrating how crazy and unhinged pit bull people radicals are.[/quote]

Wait - "pit bull people" are unhinged for a clearly tongue-in-cheek suggestion to illustrate the absurdity of the original suggestion to euthanize all pits?  Who is really unhinged, here?

Pit bulls make up about 5% of the dog population (90M) - so the suggestion here is to kill 4.5M dogs - almost all of whom have done nothing wrong.  That's a unjustified mass murder of people's pets.  And the reason for this suggested mass murder is in retaliation for a portion of the 30 or so dog bite fatalities each year.  Kill 4.5 Million innocent dogs for that?  Yeah, sure that makes a ton of sense.

Also, the application of this proposal is problematic.  Pit bulls aren't a breed.  The four/five different kinds of breeds that can be considered to be pit bulls.  Further, there millions of pit-mixes.  So where does this killing proposal stop?  Just euthanize those 4 - 5 breeds?  Or do you include all the mixes too?  Exactly how many dogs are you suggesting that we kill?  Again, almost all of whom have done absolutely nothing wrong.

Instead of being hysterical, how about you research more about dog bites and dog-related fatalities and come up with a viable suggestion that will actually help?

Sterilize all of the pit bulls and pit mixes.

Require muzzles on all pits outside.[/quote]

I live in Ontario and they tried this in 2005. It was poorly enforced. Most cities don’t have extra budget for animal services. Aside from that, as another PP has noted, pit bull isn’t a breed. There is no way for an enforcement officer to prove a dog is a pit bull.

13 years later, I see pit bulls all over the place. Of course now they’re “boxer mixes” or “bulldog hype and legislation did nothing to deter good owners, or bad owners.
