From the lens Pitbulls - The BS of BSL.

    What about making it harder for deadbeats to get ahold of them like if you have commited any kind of violent crime or any crimes at all you can't own them. Manditory classes for people wanting to own them people truely dedicated to this awesome breed would surely step up and be willing to take them. Maybe outlaw random breedings by people who are BYB which would mean stiffer legislation but in the long run maybe worth it. I don't own one but I would be willing to help out in anyway you all may need sign me up this banning a beautiful breed because of peopls BS is insaine. We let daily hardened criminals out of jail knowing they could offend again but helpless litttle ones are put to sleep. Maybe its time we reevaluate our ideal of a moral society.

    Kathy, I'm not a pitbull owner either but have many friends who are and am a dedicated canine advocate. I've also been chomped on more than one occasion, thankfully nothing too serious but I still have the marks to show for it but I know it wasn't the dogs' faults. Like you, I am not going to walk up to any dog on the street regardless of breed unless I know the dog but I don't fear dogs, I just know and understand them well enough to know better.

    It's heartening to hear how you've accepted adopted status. Too often I've heard from people nothing but "woe it me" stories when you've got it just right!

    Thanks for standing up and speaking up. I wish more people could really see and understand.

    I don't have a pit but I have been fascinated with them for a long time. Sadly, like many, where we live, they are not allowed. Some of my friends have pitts and I can get right up in their face and give kisses (and get kisses in return) They are precious.I am a dog bite "survivor" (I hate the word victim) but I moved past that-if I like a dog I will show it. Even after all this BS on breed-banning. Mind you, I would not go up to a pit on the street and do that but I wouldn't do that with ANY dog. Maybe it my support stems from my being adopted. I was raised to believe in myself and do what I can. My birth mother didn't want me (for whatever reason & I hold no ill will) and she could have aborted me. But she didn't. She gave me my first shot at life which is more than these poor dogs are getting. Let them live, let them show you what they could become. A bad rap is a difficult thing to shake and that's exactly what these poor dogs got. It's not fair.
