They are loyal companions, and another member of the family and (b) its not addressing the issue of improper ownership which is the true cause of these bans, so below is a few options that truly address the cause bad owners. PUNISH THE DEED NOT THE BREED.

1) Enforcement of generic dangerous dog laws, laws that hold owners
accountable for the actions of their dogs regardless of breed.

2) Enforcement of leash laws. Let’s be real strict about this. Tickets should
be handed out like candy to individuals who disobey this law. Fine owners
who let their dogs run loose or fail to keep them in enclosures that they
cannot escape from. Let’s have a 3-strikes and you’re out law for people
who refuse to keep their dogs under control. Use the money collected
from these fines to fund community dog safety and responsible ownership
programs.

3) Stop making excuses for animal cruelty, neglect, and irresponsible
ownership. There need to be huge fines for those involved in any
inhumane or irresponsible activity with animals.
