BSL (discrimination against different breeds of dogs) is so common and its so sad. I mean if you think about it, how is it any different from racism? It's illegal to discriminate against humans of different skin colors and background so why is a dog any different? Luckily, times are changing and there is a LOT of BSL being overturned across the US. As long as everyone continues to fight we will be able to continue to show people that banning a dog based on looks is wrong. Raise them to be good, and they will be. The ability of former fighting dogs to turn around and even become therapy dogs themselves is proof of what a little love and some positive training can do.

tldr; Antipitbull anti pet*anything for the average human being.

Gonna Try to chime in here. First I love dogs. I don't generally like pit-bulls. You ask how breed-specific legislation is different from racism? Well, you can look across many species of fauna and notice that various breeds exhibit certain tendencies. Chickens? Rhode Island Reds are generally at the species level more friendly than many other species of chickens (there's over 200). Lizards? A chinese water dragon is much more appropriate for a less experienced handler (due to a breed specific temperament) than say a komodo dragon...or even a sudan plated lizard. Snakes? You don't hear about corn snakes killing owners, however ball-pythons occasionally strangle children, and venomous snakes require state licenses to handle/own.

The simple fact is the pit bull breed was selectively inbred for fierce competitive features that make it an extremely strong dog with a penchant for volatility towards those outside of the pack. The problem with pitbulls then isn't really the able-bodied intelligent and *dilligent* owner, but rather with the neglectful, permissive, or physically infirm owner.

Considering many parents are drugging their children rather than actually establishing a functional discipline system and parenting style (hint: permissive is BAD and causes chaos) and it's not so much as a blind hatred of pitbulls

I think there are many people who just realize that there are a LOT of really underqualified human beings who do not have any business taking care of anything other than wiping their own arz ....and for some reason they all seem to think they need to buy a pitbull and it becomes it's own self fulfilling destiny.

On another note, all dogs like other animals and humans get older, and that respect for structure and memory/cognizance often can become lost especially in old age and they can unleash the full fury of the core wolf-breed while having an incredibly powerful bite and dominating physique.

I believe a pit bull owner should have to take a course (sort of like a gun safety or hunting license) and pay an annual fee for the *priviledge* of owning a biological weapon, which is what I type-cast the breed at due to the quality of owners in our society.

Then....maybe I won't mind seeing pitbulls running untethered through hoarder houses while children run around without any adult supervision.

[edit]To you good sir, who was confused by the differences in men and women and male animals and females.[/edit]

Explain the difference.

guys (male sex morphology) have a fleshy appendage in their inguinal area. Gals (morphology/shorter ureter) have a hole there. You should watch more porn, and you are definately one of the candidates I originally posted as unqualified to own a pet.
