The U.S. is starting to sound more and more like Italy .... While I was living in Italy, they put out a breed ban list, that contained 92 or 97 different breeds, including, welsh corgi's, st. bernards, pit bulls, rottweilers, and many many more. I know in the Naples area the ban wasn't strongly enforced, but if you have an italian neighbor that doesn't like your dog and that breed is on the ban list they can make a stink about things and eventually have your dog taken and destroyed (even though euthanization is illegal in Italy)
The ban was good ONLY for the fact that if you were under the age of 18 you couldn't own a dog on the ban list, and that if you had a past criminal record you couldn't own a dog on the ban list.
However just to take our Rottweilers for a walk over there they had to be muzzled and on a very short leash and you had to carry their rabies certificate with you.
When will the world realize it's not the breeds it's irresponsible owners!!!
