Banning Pit Bulls would be like banning cars because people get killed in car accidents! Who's responsible, the car or the driver/manufacturer? Any car can be deadly in the wrong hands or if built with defective parts. Same thing with dogs... Any dog. Pit Bulls are no more responsible for the way they are bred, raised and trained, than cars are responsible for the way they are designed, built and driven.

Simply put, the best argument against breed bans is that they are costly and ineffective. Breed bans are often a knee-jerk reaction from politicians who want to say they are "doing something", after a highly publicized dog attack (of any breed). This is a useless exercise.

"Pit bull" is not a breed, but a "type" that encompasses several registered breeds and crossbreeds. Therefore, statistics that claim "Pit bulls" are responsible for some percentage of attacks are lumping many separate breeds together, then comparing that to other dogs that are counted as individual breeds.

Criminals habitually break laws, so having an "illegal breed" may indeed be attractive to them and might make them want to breed and sell more "illegal dogs". If their dog is confiscated and killed, they really don't care. They will just get another one because breed bans punish the dog, not the owner.
A breed ban will only remove Pit Bulls from the good people's homes and leave them in the hands of animal abusers who couldn't care less about the law... Better think twice before supporting such measure...

I support this petition. I am the president of the New Zealand Pit Bull Terrier Club, i know this breed and banning it will actually make things a hell of allot worse! Making something illegal drives it under ground and makes the problem get really out of control. Education, registration free training etc.. are the ways to go check out WWW.NZPBT.CO.NZ support the breed and sign up free

I support this petition. I have recently been offered the opportunity of living and working in Wellington, but I will probably have to turn down this offer, because I have three beautiful female Argentine Dogos. They are family pets neutered lovable and very affectionate. Furthermore the breed was developed for hunting wild pig in the pampas of Argentina and all aggression was bred out of them in order that they could work together in a pack. Unfortunately when BSL was first \"invented\" in the country of my birth AKA the UK\'s Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, it set the scene for copy-cat legislation world wide which sadly includes NZ and since its introductu=ion has not reduced dog attacks and completely misses the point in not targetting the criminals, ingnorants or negligent people who either train dogs to fight or endanger their own family or the public by not treating their animals in a responsible manner. I dont mind if we licence, take dog ownership tests, microchip and insure but lets promote responsible dog ownership. This will reduce dog attacks not knee jerk - ethnic cleansing - legislation against innocent animals. By the way there have been no recoreded instances of an unprovoked attack by a Dogo Argentino against a human being anywhere- and there have never been any Dogos in the UK but thanks to the law\'s sponsor Lord Kenneth Baker- Dogos are banned around the world a great loss to many dog lovers. Goosd luck with your campaign Guy Webster
