Why should any specific breeds of dogs be banned just because some were misused?? Punish those that misused the dogs, not the dogs themselves

This Is WRONG. BAD OWNERS MAKE BAD DOGS. I've been around Pit Bulls, German Sheppards, Rotties, Dobies, Chows,Boxers, Masties, Husky,'s Owned a Wolf Hybrid, Akita, St. Bernard, and NONE of them were EVER aggressive. They were like big children with nothing but love. I swear people's ignorance and fear is getting so stupid. Why uneducated people get to speak and have a say is beyond me. I'm all in favor of owners getting to keep their family pets, NO matter breed. ALL BREEDS ARE GOOD DOGS. NO breed should be punished for what a LOUSY OWNER DOES. Punish The Deed, NOT The Breed.

this is as bad as racism. You should be holding the individuals accountable for mistreating the animal by making it mean. We hold prents countable if their children do something wrong or punish adults who mistret children. The same should be true for bad breeders and owners, not animails that havent done anything wrong, but be born pittbull.

The banning of any breed of dog and the destruction of those dog is murder any way you see it.You cannot tell americans they cannot possess a certain type of dog just because you feel safer without them.I feel safer in a country that lets me make my own decisions.Especially when it comes to choosing my breed of dog.What will be next?We will ban Nike`s because alot of gang members wear them?Or maybe we should ban the color red because it insights violence among gangs?COME ON!We are a country by the people,for the people!These animals are great companions IF you raise them to love people.If you raise a human child to hate and kill,chances are it will.Should we ben so ignorant and blame these dogs for doing what the people they love told them to do?

Ban the Deed, not the Breed! There is no cause to ban any specific type of dog. If a dog attacks someone ot bites, it it the fault of the owner, who probably either: A. abused the dog or B. did not raise the dog properly. There is no rhyme or reason for this legislation. Do not punish the animal just because it was born a certain breed, it is not their fault. Instead, increase the punishments for those that breed animals for fighing, and for cruelty to animals. The animals don't understand, all they know is what they are taught. Take pity on those animals who are taken away from their families, most of the time loving, caring families that have treated the animal well and love the animal, for no better reason than for what they are, misunderstood. Think about what you are trying to do. It is immoral, cruel and unjust.

What's next to ban certain other animal's and maybe certain people.It's not the breed's fault it's those ignorant people who get's pleasure from these poor animal's. these people should be punish for what they are doing to these poor dog's.So, Guilliani sit and think who is really at fault, think wisely. Those who abuse innocent animal's should not be trust with childen and even women and the elderly b/c they will also hurt the innocent one's. So please, Guilliani think wisely before you leap and worry about about what's really going on in this world, how to make it better. It's bad enough that other animal's are being extinct slowly and our planet is so polluted with all sort's of toxic and even crime and war help our people and our planet to be better, make it a better place to live in for the children of tomorrow and everything beautiful that this planet have.
