I implore you to ban ownership and breeding of all pit-bull type dogs and stop these violent, aggressive and unpredictable animals from causing further harm to kids and loved ones and putting unnecessary strain on the healthcare system. The pit-bull breed accounts for most of the fatal and debilitating attacks; while children and elderly often fall victim to these vicious land sharks. These dogs do not belong in a civilized society, as they were bred for one thing only - to attack and kill. No one has a right to own an assault dog and endanger innocent people. These dogs are a relic of the past, they belong on battlefields, to be wielded by highly trained professionals and not roam our cities. Rid our great cities of this menace for the sake of the children and make our communities safe!
