Ban PitBulls

Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.

Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.

No one is saying pit bulls are evil however their breeding over time involved the best traits for dog fighting and yes they’re still being used for that nefarious purpose.

Exactly, we need to start breeding dogs that won't listen to their owners commands!
