Good job, some of those are very dangerous breeds. shouldnt even be allowed as pets imo, but im against dog ownership in general so im slightly biased lmao

 

[Chris Hagen*]

Yup. Pets are the worst.

 

[Hansen]

Good on them

 

[Dr Pepper]

I think pitbulls are still banned in all of Ontario as well.

What a stupid law.

 

[aleshemsky83]

Pitbulls are pretty violent so I could see that, not sure why the rest are considered too violent

 

[syz]

Says less about the dogs and more about the irresponsible *******s who typically own those breeds.

I've owned a couple Rottweilers and they were both probably the least threatening dogs I've ever met. Unless you were trying to sneak into the house at 3 in the morning, it turns out.

Any dog can be dangerous, however, these are the more likely to be dangerous.
Yes it depends on the owner, but I see no problem in doing this. Why take a
chance.

 

[ChiGuySez]

No Irish setters on the list. Looks jingoistic to me.

Breed specific legislation is idiotic. Plain and simple. It misses the issue entirely; willfully ignores it actually, and does nothing to solve any issue. The problem is people who get breeds they have no business getting and can't take care of the individual dog's socialization and training requirements shouldn't be tasked with the responsibility of owning a dog in the first place. The owner is always more at fault than the dog itself.

But if you're against people having dogs as companions in the first place, it's not much of a surprise you'd think this way.

I've known some pitbulls that are the sweetest animals I've ever known. Don't threaten their family and don't get in their face until they trust you and you should be fine.

The problem with pitbulls is they're tough-looking so ********** like to put spiked collars on them, not train them at all, and treat them like crap so they're 'guard' dogs.

How can you be against dog ownership?

 

[x Tame Impala]

The only dogs I've ever found to have a dangerous temperament are little dogs, none of which are on this list.

The problem is irresponsible owners, not the breed. In fact most of those dogs on the list are some of the smartest and trainable dogs out there.

And yet the Lab is the breed of dog that are involve in the most biting cases, yet it is seen as the "perfect" family dog. I hate laws like this, it is rarely the dogs fault, but rather the fault of their owner/trainer. Any dog can be aggressive and dangerous, some just receive a bad reputation like the majority of this list.

Never trust a dog they say, that said most times it's more to do with the owner than the pet.

Pitbulls are not dogs. They are breed to kill. Doesn't matter how nice they seem to be one wrong look and they are all capable of attacking and never letting go.

That's so cute.

Yes, let's continue spreading lies about all pitbulls being evil little monsters. They should all be culled, the beasts.

OR, maybe you can talk a little bit about the responsibility of the owner to train their dog properly, and avoiding all of that misinformation.

Your right. All pitbulls and part pitbulls should be wiped out. Doesn't matter how they are trained. They are bred to kill. All are capable of snapping at the blink of an eye.

That is any animal or person though too. Lets kill all things capable of snapping at a blink of an eye. As for your previous comment of a pit bull never letting go, the concept of them having a lock jaw is a myth. They exhibit a bite, hold, and shake behavior, as do many other breeds of dogs (terriers and hunting breeds for example). While they may at times refuse to let go their jaws never lock.

Those idiots at pro-breed specific legislation groups like dogbites.com always release skewed stats to get the uneducated public of their side.

How about you ban the awful ********s (The bad owners) and let the innocent animlas be? Win win.

I have an 85 pound pitbull mama that might lick you and cuddle you and never let go but she's never bit anyone or anything. You are uninformed and spewing ignorance. Your mouth is much more dangerous than my dog.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I like that political correctness has found dogs. Of course owners have a lot to do with it but to act like certain breeds are not more likely than others to be dangerous is politically correct nonsense.

 

[aleshemsky83]

I find that to way too many people, dogs are literally the same as people.

Like way too many people seemed to genuinely think Michael Vick deserved the death penalty for killing some damn dogs.

Also did Vick actually kill dogs? It seemed like in the news Vick was executing these dogs personally. Thats got to be misinformation there.

Not that I hate dogs. I love dogs.
