Just thought I'd throw in that BAD RAP (San Francisco Pit Bull recue) is training one of their 'vicious' pits to be a personal therapy dog for an autistic child right now. Go Ru!

Sorry, didn't really want to sidetrack, but that's what popped up in my mind while reading this. States banning these breeds are depriving family members of valuble companions and making it so that only the scum who don't care about the laws own the dogs.
