Breed-specific laws that target pit bulls do not effectively address the problem of dangerous dogs and harm owned pit bulls by depriving them of interaction, sunlight and exercise. Instead of bans, the document proposes mandatory training classes for pit bull owners to teach basic commands, socialization, leash skills, and bonding to ensure dogs are well-trained and cared for. Removing breed bans and requiring training would better protect the public while allowing responsible pit bull ownership.

1. ban the owner
not the breed
the problem of dangerous dogs will not be remedied by
the “quick fix” of breed-specific laws—or, as they should
truly be called, breed-discriminatory laws.
Highly prized for its versatility the pit bull was once illustrated
with a shoe company wanting to illustrate their “sturdy and
dependable” shoe. The Pit Bull Terrier was even commonly used
as an all-round dependable farm and frontier dog. It wasn’t until
somewhat later that these dogs were used and bred for fighting.
Although the ban on pit bulls protects neighbors, children and
other pets, the real harm is in the pitbulls themselves. Owners
forced to hide their pets indoors, depriving them of interaction,
sunlight and excersise.
Have legislation remove the Ban on Pitbulls and
impose mandatory training.
