The big issue with pit bulls is their strength and tenacity. We can debate the laws and safety factors till the cows come home, but if you get into a tussle with a put bull where blood is drawn, chances are the damage is going to be much more severe than with a lot of other dogs.
Even a pomeranian can kill, as was noted on CBC regarding an incident last year, but most of the "horrifying" attacks by dogs you hear about involve kids, because adults can fight off most breeds.
So we don't hear about the foiled attack where the adult male kicked the dogs ***, because nobody got hurt. But a pit bull can bring down a full grown man, and a lot of people are aware of that.
We have people here who are responsible owners, but if your dog knocks down a door or scales an 8 foot high fence and manages to rip a hole in someone, you can bet you'll be vilified in the news same as any other owner.
I don't see the government being willing to dicker over who the good and bad owners are. It's going to become a matter of when they come to euthanize people's dogs.
They mentioned on the radio today that Windsor will most likely be implementing Kitchener's pit bull bylaw immediately, with an exception made for AmStaffs.
I bet by next week no one will own a pit bull in Windsor, but the population of AmStaffs will go through the roof
it seems like they will ban if this goes on
