this recent stint of breed banning legislation in Germany is the result of an incident where two children were attacked in a schoolyard by i believe an am. staff and a staffy bull. the situation has gotten so outa hand that the general public that doesn't know a great deal about dogs are so afraid that they are calling protection dog owners "child killers". they are poisoning dogs and vandelizing homes. that should tell people that breed banning legislation is rediculus!
