Am I The Only One Who Thinks This Is Wrong??

Here is a lively (CLOSED) thread on the topic. I don't know that much about it but I am thinking there are other members of Pet Talk who understand it in a lot more detail. I have learned much about the pit bull from reading posts by Jadapit. I still think that if I were ever to have a dog (of ANY size or breed) I would have to attend training classes in order to learn how best to guide and direct the dog's behaviors (what I mean is, how I and the dog move and behave as a team). Otherwise I would be guessing and I don't think that would be good.

BSL(stupid legislation banning pits) is absolutely digusting. There is no excuse for it. Banning a dog isn't going to solve any problem. It's just making people more scared of these dogs, and preventing uneducated people who are scared of pits from meeting a nice one because the dogs aren't allowed to be around. Media has not helped the matter at all. Often when their is a dog attack, they say it's a pitbull, when really it's just a dog that looks like one. And all to often the dogs have the same background. Being chained up in the yard and forgotten about, unfed, etc. Unknowingly to many people this would obviously cause human and dog aggression. It's a sad world we live in today. The saddest thing is that, people who are for this legislation claim to be dog lovers, yeah, take another look at what needs to be banned.

Now this idiot, Micheal Vick, got accused of pitbull fighting. Many kids across the nation looked up to him and what example is he setting now?? Oh, lets fight dogs.
