i think its ridiculous they are banning the pitbull... its a dog.
However, i do beleive they are a naturally aggressive breed (just like Rotweilers, and a bunch of other breeds). If you do not train them right, they may come aggressive by themselves..of course this goes for a lot of dog breeds... they are scavenger pack animals at heart.
you CAN however, easily train a pitbull to be the fluffiest, softest, cutest dog in the world, just like any domesticated dog. so its utter bullshit they are trying to (or maybe already have) ban the breed.
too many parents have had their kids mauled cause they didnt keep an eye on their kids or they simply can't admit that THE WORLD IS A DANGEROUS PLACE!! NOTHING IS RISK FREE!!
people need to grow some balls, and take responsibility (as ive seen many posters have done to create a safe home environment)
