However, these breeds (at least most) do not have the capabilities to kill me (unless I get rabies or a flesh eating bacteria). I do not trust most pits around other animals especially small dogs and cats unless they were raised with them. Most of the problems I see are due to bad owners that put them out in the yard on a chain, they give them no chance to properly socialize. and offer no training So, we are banning a breed in order to punish these irresponsible o's but unfortunately the good o's are the ones that suffer as the bad ones don't give a $hit. Many of the DRs I work with have pits and they are well behaved, get along with kids and other animals so they are not necessarily inherently bad.

These breeds are not natural. What are we killing here? Someone decided to make a breed that was better at killing. Mutts live longer and don't have as many health problems because they were not bred for special features - ie killing better.
Dog fighters don't throw tiny poodles into fights do they?
I am not saying to kill all pitbulls but there really is no need to allow the breeding to continue if you aren't looking to use them to fight.
