Write a law barring states from enacting breed specific legislation

The Issue

Many cities and states around the world and America specifically, are carrying out mass genocide. The city of Denver has killed thousands of pit bulls simply because they are pit bulls. These mandated killings are of puppies, old dogs, family pets, and mostly of dogs with zero personal history of violence or aggression. It is my belief that, if cities and states, or the federal government went after irresponsible breeders and owners as viciously as those people treat their animals then we would not have a community based problem with vicious dogs. It is un-American to tell me I have to surrender my dog to the government to be killed because someone else abused their dog and caused someone else to get hurt.
