PUNISH THE DEED NOT THE BREED ITS NOT THE PITBULL FAULT FOR WHAT ITS BEEN TAUGHT I THINK THE OWNERS SHOULD PAY FOR WHAY THEY TEACH THE DOG AND IN MAJOR CASES THE DOG PUNISHED BUT YOU CANT KILL A PITBULL EVERY TIME IT BITES IF SO WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER DOGS THAT BITE ARE YOU GOING TO KILL THEM IVE BEEN BIT BY POODLES

Last Year My six week old Terrier was pulled through the fence of my neighbors by Pitt Bulls and nearly mauled to death. It took 30 minutes to get the pitt to just let go. My dog underwent mager surgery and ended up with 200 stitches and a broken jaw. He will never breath normallly and where i lived there was no animal control,no one would help me. The police said they can;t do anything unless it envolves a person getting hurt. So i guess I will just have to wait untill my two year old is playing outside and those dogs get out or he walks to close to the fence and him get bit or mauled or even killed those dogs are capable of anything they put their minds to and they should be stopped because i'm not going to keep waiting for someone to get hurt before something is done or i take some part in the action of banning these viciouse dogs. Honestly I've never meet a friendly one!!!!

First off, The American PitBull Terrier is just like any other dog breed. They are not a visious monster the media, PETA, and the humane society wants you to believe so badly for publicity. am 23 yrs old, and have grown up with many examples of the breed, none of them like you see and hear about on the news. The media is infamous for scapegoating this breed as the agressor. if they are not, they either lie, or leave. thank you so much for your time.

What about the thousands of rottweiller, german shepard, terrier, chow, great dane, boxer, lab, retreiver, poodle and the thousands of other breeds that attacked people!!!! dogs react on how they were raised !!! no if's,and's, or but's about it. i can easily train a shitzu to attack and kill just as easy as a pit bull. the dog shouldnt be outlawed, it's a living creature just like human beings. instead why not punish the owners of the dogs which attack the innocent!!! doesnt that make a lot more sense???

Yea Pit Bulls are such a danger thats why the little rascals had one think about how many differant children where on and off of that show through out the years it was on and one thing stayed the same petey was always a pitbull. if they are such monsters there would be at least a hundred dead rascals right now.

I support this issue 100%. I for one am afraid of what Pitbulls are capable of. A Pitbull killed my dog. He ripped through our wooden fence to get to her. I think having tougher laws on the owners of such dogs would take care of most of the problems. The owners of Pitbulls need to think of everyone in the neighborhoods safety first. And the safety of the children that play in the neighborhood.If this law passes I do think I may feel a little safer. Until then I live in fear of Pitbulls.

These acts of violence are the owners fault if you mistreat abuse or starve or tarin an animal to do bad things what do you expect they need to protect themselves but raise them in a loving environment and you get a wonderful pet. any animal could turn for their own safety it these owners that should be put away.

When did God step down from His throne and designate these people as judge and jury for a breed of animal. Why stop at pit bulls? Why not just rid the world of all so called threatening species? Better , yet, just add sex offenders, rapists, and child molesters@ Good grief, don['t these people have better things to to take care of? I do not think that God would approve with animal genicide. I call it pure murder.

A human that kills gets three years dogs that draw even a pinch of blood get put down.

I have an indelible image in my mind of my six-year-old daughter being wheeled into emergency surgery after a dog attack. That is but one of two such images as it was was my second experience of having a child seriously injured by a dog. I support this legislation because we the people do not seem to be able to come to grip with the fact that dogs are animals and their behavior unpredicatable. We love dogs. It's a sad reality that we have to resort to legislation to eliminate the most dangerous breeds. Even though I support this legislation, I seriously doubt that it will be successful. We just don't collectively have our heads around the concept.
