| The law should punish the owner if the dog is not properly care for and hurting others. Why are we purnishing the innocent pitbull and it is no different from a child who make mistake. In China, the government ban Enghlish bulldogs for no good reasons?

Okay, once again I am the odd ball out again. Hehe. Okay my opinion is really different from everyone. I vote "yes, yes, yes" One because it’s genetic in their blood that they are mean. Granted a few can be sweet but I would "never" trust one. I have had many people tell me "oh well a Golden bit me." Well I agree to some extent that it is how they are raised but it’s also a big part of their genetic gene that makes them unpredictable like that. I think everyone is blaming people because they don't want to blame the genes. That is how I feel and I would feel much safer if they are banned.

I feel people should have a permet or insurince on this certain dog when owning one.

I feel people should have a permet or insurince on this certain dog when owning one..Permits... then you'd have problems with percent loop holes, same with wolf hybrids. If its 75% you don't need a permit and things like that. So I don't think thats the answer. There are other breeds that were used dog fighting, you want to ban those too? Or issue permits for them? They'd have the same wired behavior as the pitbull. No... none of that is the answer, wired behaviors (which is what you mean by being mean in there genes) can be curbed with proper training. And any demonstration of those old habits only suggest ill ownership. So YES its the owners fault for not knowing what they got themselves into. Ahhh it doesn't matter though, years ago it was the Alsatians and Dobermans, in a few more years... who knows it might be Labradors seeing how they have the highest bite rates. Thats my opinion though.

Ahhh it doesn't matter though, years ago it was the Alsatians and Dobermans, in a few more years... who knows it might be Labradors seeing how they have the highest bite rates. Thats my opinion though. Actually Dobermans should be banned too along with Rottweiler’s. True there are other breeds in with the dog fighting but that is because they are trained but the point is they use dogs that have gene that makes them vicious. Sure you might see a Golden in there but that is because they trained them for it but it isn't their gene so that is why the mostly use pit bulls and other mean dogs because they don’t have to spend too much time training. If you had a permit then it would solve more law issues and it would also solve the good owners from going to jail because all the skum owners wouldn't have the permit and they would have to pay for not owning the permit to have the dog. I mean think of it, if you saw a drug addict have a Golden or Pomeranian as a guard dog, people would laugh. Also where did you get your information about Labradors? I find that information false because I own two and they have yet to bite being as the most popular dog in the world, I hear of little cases of them biting. Honestly, if we had a dog with a bad reputation in our neighborhood I would be scared to let my little sister outside in fear it would attack her. I would probably take action to get the dog out of the area because nobody wants to live in fear. One more bit of the truth, when I hear someone owns a pit-bull I right away thing, they are drug dealer or they are a criminal. I can see maybe a mixed breed since it wouldn't have all the mean genes. Therefore I don't think its right to blame the people owning the dogs. It’s all in the genes. Even looking into a pit-bulls mouth it is like looking into a great white sharks. Anyway, this is my opinion and I know everyone will probably disagree with me but this place is full of friendly debates right?

I agree with Junior or anyone who doesn't want permits. Also, how would you go about it with mixed breeds? Somebody says it's a pit bull mix somebody says it's a Lab.. Who do you believe? Also, the people who fight these dogs and train them to be mean and vicious, do they really care about the law and what is "right"? Of course not! So what would make them follow the law and get a permit? There would just be underground pit bull breeding and selling, I don't think it would change anything, at all.
And about the Golden Retriever thing.. I love all dogs and have nothing against Goldens, but this is a prime example of irresponsible owners being the problem. I know somebody with a Golden, they give the dog NO rules, NO boundaries, NO discipline.. It is dog aggressive and has almost killed a dog, yet they still say he is friendly and let him play with dogs.. he is out of control and even has some issues with being mouthy and biting people... So if a pit bull behaves that way, it is the breed at fault.. If it is a Golden, it's the person? I blame the person in all accounts.
Well there is my opinion, for what it's worth. =)
