Stop BSL 
The type of people that have the dogs that attack are not the pit bull owners who are responsible. It is the jerks that fight them that give them a bad name. I have had experience with many pits and they are great dogs. You can make it illegal just like prohibition did alcohol and the people with the bad dogs will still have bad dogs meanwhile, the rest of us are punished.
I don’t think it’s fair to ban all APBT’s from an area. ANY dog can be aggressive. Also, a well bred APBT SHOULD NOT BE HUMAN AGGRESSIVE. It depends on how the dog is bred, how knowlegable the ower is about the breed, and how responsible the owner is. Point blank DON’T LET A DOG AGGRESSIVE DOG AROUND OTHER ANIMALS!! DUH! If you know there’s a problem, then it’s not the dog’s fault for the owner not watching it!
i agree with the first 2 comments. banning pit bulls is not the solution…punishing IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS is the answer. any dog can be aggressive…even small breeds! i have a lab/pit mix and she is one of the sweetest, smartest, gentlest dogs you could ever want to meet…because i trained her and socialized her so she would be that way! btw, you people who think there should be a ban on pit bulls should know that their nickname is “the nanny dog”! punish irresponsible owners, not the dogs!

I think this is so stupid. I have a 2 year old pit that I got when he was 3 weeks old..He is my baby, so i am speaking for him! He is the sweetest and smartest dog that I have ever owned. He has never bit or grawled at anyone. I see it as all in how you raise your dog…I think that if they’re going to ban one type of dog then they should ban all types because it’s not fair!! All dogs have attitudes at some point in time but so do humans…I dont think its the dog’s fault, why punish everyone for the owner not watching his/her dog.
I think bsl is stupid. I have a 3 year old pit that I have had since she was 6 weeks old. She is the love of my life and would not hurt anyone. She just licks everyone to death. I also have a 9 week old chihuahua that i have had since the day she was born and her and my pit are best friends.
Simply put, the best argument against breed bans is that they are costly and ineffective. Breed bans are often a knee-jerk reaction from politicians who want to say they are “doing something”, after a highly publicized dog attack (of any breed). This is a useless exercise.
