Many breeds are capable of death.
I'm not arguing that a pit can be dangerous because it can be but so can so many other dogs. This is an unfair law. It's unfair to responsible owners and it's unfair to properly trained pits. Taking them and exterminating them is a horrible thing to do.
And I mentioned the fact that many breeds are dangerous because of honeychile's story. She mentioned how she was attacked yet pretty much gave the reason for it as well in her story. I'd still consider the Doberman and German Shepherd to be the most dangerous breeds. They are both very intelligent and they are both very lethal. During the Nazi era in Germany, the Germans were relentless in their use of these two breeds. They would turn these dogs on people in the hopes that they would kill them, many times succeeding.
Besides that, from what I understand this ban also includes dogs that "look like pits." That's bs, who is to say if the dog looks like a pit or not? People have differing views. Not to mention that a lot of breeds can be mistaken for a pit if the breed is mixed. Especially the boxer which appears to be an aggressive and very muscular dog but it is very very well mannered and tis great with kids.
