Bad Idea. Those dogs were keeping the baby population in check.
Lol
They're good for the environment.
And assholes will find another breed to abuse and turn mean. I remember when German Sheppards were the dangerous breed you needed to be afraid of. Then it was Doberman Pincers. Then it was Rottweilers. Now it's pits.
Eugenics
That's racist
Police also told the outlet the family said the dog had never shown signs of aggression in the past and that it’s investigating whether someone will face charges in the boy’s death.
"We don’t know. He just attacked him, so. And the dog is very lovable too, so we just don’t know what happened," said Tammy Crawford, the victim’s aunt.
The Tennessee family's pitbulls were reportedly never aggressive before the attack."I can promise you those children were her world, and if there was any inkling of danger, she would have never had those dogs near her kids," the devastated mother's friend Kelsey Canfield told Fox News.
Pointers naturally point, retrievers naturally retrieve, heelers naturally try to corral things, bloodhounds will naturally track by scent, but oh, a fighting dog would never fight without being trained to do so.
I totally believe the family that owned a dog that killed someone to be honest about that dog's temperment.
"yeah we always thought this could happen," the family said in a statement. "We're very negligent, to the point of abuse."
Idk what people are expecting to see.
Pits have always been on the list. And for good reason.
These breeds should have never existed, but now we have to deal with these animals. It's unfortunate, but necessary to ban them.
I wish governments all over the world would take a closer look at breeds being created and sold. There should be clear rules against breeds that further health problems for the sake of aesthetics. Not to mention intentionally aggressive behaviour.
Everyone being like "well they'll just make other breeds", like so the fuck what? You want to argue that we need to increase enforcement against breeders of illegal breeds? Sure, do that, but that doesn't change the fact that this breed should still be banned.
I have a feeling this wont be the last breed they ban...
US Defaultism at its finest lol
Try reading the title again.
Maybe they think the USA has the power to ban dogs in the UK.
Or maybe that the UK has the power to ban guns in the USA? I think that might have been a struggle even before independence.
The UK got bold again under Charlee. Liz was the only thing protecting the colonies from his wrath.
Don't you know the world only revolves around the Yoo Ess of AYYYYY
Actually we've had pretty strict gun laws since the Dunblane massacre.
Ah, yes, Britain. The state that the United States won in the independence war.
This isn't the US they're talking about.
