For anyone who is uneducated about this breed, please do your own research instead of simply listening to media which is in itself unreliable information! It is proven that "pit bull" type breeds can make amazing dogs and rank higher on the temperament scale than many other breeds!! There is so much wrong with this BSL (breed specific legislation) as technically a "pitbull" isn't even a breed, it is a mixed breed and part of the "bully" breeds which include many different kinds of dogs including the bull dog, bull terrier and boxer so how can someone possibly distinguish a "pitbull type" dog? Stop the discrimination and do not punish the breed, punish the owner! Any issues with an aggressive dog should be covered under the "dangerous dog act" and should include all breeds of dog.
