It always seems a few bad dog owners always spoil it for the rest of us. Also the media plays on histeria as well which doesn't help.

I know dog owners and work with vets. I am in the pet industry. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but an experienced and educated opinion holds more value for solving a problem in the right way. I find that certain personalities of owners who own breeds such as Pit Bulls do so because of their own nature. I do not blame non-pit bull owners, for being discriminatory, as I have seen an inordinate amount of dog fights and fatal or injurious attacks predominantly by pit bulls and their owners. just look at all the news articles that involve these breeds. its not a coincidence. oddly enough, the pit bull owner is the very one who often doesn't bother taking them to obedience training as a puppy, tends to chain them in the yard, and will let them run around off-leash in public areas, at the peril of others and their pets. You can't ban the human owning a pit so this would be the alternative to making them understand that there is a difference between dog breeds, and that someone who owns a pit, needs to go beyond the average dog owner in training and socialization to make it an acceptable member of the pet community. If they cannot understand this, they should consider a aquarium instead. I own 2 large dogs. I know dog owners and work with vets. I am in the pet industry.

Could this Lunatic stand up in a court of law and state I want to Murder all the Pits and Rotties,the dogs have not broken any laws but I wish to pxxs the gangsters off. What next? the gangsters enjoy Big Macs ,so will he then close down all the Macdonalds in Lancaster.They ride Harley Davisons ,so now he Bans Harley Davisons. Surely if he is not a coward he should just arrest the gangsters and send them to jail. I have been fighting this EVIL and HEINOUS piece of legislation for around 6 years now and this is undoubtably the most ridiculous excuse I have heard, 2nd only to the Mayor of another small town ,whose town had never had a dog attack in its history,but wanted BSL in place ,his reason I quote "just in case" "ALL that is needed for EVIL to Succeed is that Decent Human Beings do Nothing"-Edmund Burke "A Nation is Judged by the way it cares and treats its Animals"-Ghandhi Spike you can call a spade a shovel.I cannot not even think of a decent analogy

I don't see race as an issue in this issue, but rather discrimination targeting two breeds of dog.

What you are describing is Adolph Hitler's policy.Spay and Neuter= Ethnic Cleansing. It is apparent that this Lunatic Parris is not a full box of chocolates. I do not beleive that the new president would allow this sort of Blatant Racism. Also his few fellow councillors are 4 tells me that Lancaster is a very small town.Am I correct? This modern day Hitler must be STOPPED Sorry is this post of yours from the USA or from Germany ,is the year 2009,

Very nice post, as it makes the number one point in arguing with "bully breed" legislation: its not the dog, its the ENVIRONMENT and PEOPLE who RAISE the dog. I feel terrible for people who own those breeds who now have to spend God-only-knows-how-much on a liability insurance policy. I would move out of the city and pay taxes elsewhere if I lived there. This is bull**it. Targeting specific breeds is so wrong, I 100% agree with you.
