Oh, wow, that's horrible! It's a shame that pit bulls have such an awful reputation, because all of the ones I know are owned by people who love them and did not train them to be dangerous. They're very, very sweet dogs.

I am totally against breed-specific legislation. No dog breed is inherently bad...but unfortunately there are some bad owners.
There's a shelter a couple blocks from my house that takes pit bulls and pit mixes and I see volunteers walking them in my neighborhood all the time. They've all been very sweet.

OMG this is so sad.
I love dogs and I dont' think any breed is born bad - just raised bad.

That's really really sad...
What are the specifics of the proposal?
If people have them as pets would they be forced to put them to sleep?
What caused the beginning of this proposal?

So I did a google search (gotta luv that search engine!) and came up with this link.
How are they supposed to enforce this legislation if most people can't even correctly identify the breed?

I believe that they are banned in PG County in MD (just south of DC).

Bobby, Yes it is ignorant because People are Stupid. 
I had a Pit named Tigger, Brindle who was the most lovable Dog I ever Knew! God I miss Him!
The Poodle used to chase Him around The Yard! 
Any Dog can be dangerous, Just dont Mess with His Territory kind of Like Litttle Brothers and Sisters! 
Pits are very Protective as Many Animals are!
I so Miss Tigger No Matter How Dumb He could Be!
Oh, lets outlaw Taco Bell Dogs, A Bunch of them attcked a Mail Dude! Carrrier that is.

I know in Michigan any Pittbull picked up by the humane society or animal control is immediatly destroyed. No shelters, no adoptions, just death.

I would assume attacks on kids or something like that. Breeding practices is also a big catalyst here. In Detroit it's common for breeders to purposly breed pitt's to be super-aggressive, which is dangerous for the dog. I've heard of these dogs turning on their owns for no reason what so ever. Many people think that breeding them as fight-dogs might have messed up their genetics, making them go senile earlier in life.
