I saw a video today about pit bulls but decided not to post that one because it was totally biased against pit bulls. I don’t believe in using a broad brush to condemn a breed of dog.
It’s the owners responsibility to train their dog. If a dog attacks someone, blame the owner first & foremost. A dog that attacks someone will usually be put down, but there should be severe punishment for owners who allow their dogs to become so aggressive that they would attack unprovoked in the first place.
Back in 2005, the Ontario government enacted the Dog Owners’ Liability Act which totally banned the breeding, sale and ownership of pit bulls after several incidents in which the dogs attacked people. Lawyers quickly jumped in to challenge the law. Yesterday (Friday) the Court of Appeals upheld the decision to ban the dogs. Read the story here…
