I think anyone who has read my posts on this issue before knows where I'm coming from: I was terribly ignorant to the Pit Bull breed not so long ago, but after a few questions and checking into it myself, I am coming around. But the idea that a government can ban me, and anyone else, from owning a specific breed, of which I can think of a few loving, loyal, and friendly examples, really bothers me. Please, someone write an intelligent e-mail to this a**hole for ever thinking to put this in his column (his contact information is at the bottom of the article).

Just my opinion, but how about putting that commontator on a short leash and put a muzzle on him?? Maybe then he'll stop with these idiotic statements!! He makes me sick.

LOL! Yes!

It saddens me. Now that this is in force, i'm scared about German Shephards, Rottweilers, Great Danes, Doberman Pinschers, and any other breed that people may fear. It saddens me that these politiciens can do this !!!!

Do you think that in the near future, when dog "attacks" don't come down in number (since most dogs that bite aren't even Pitties) that some of these politicians will wake up and see they've made a mistake? After all, they can pass the law, and they can also get rid of it.

Or will they just keep banning breed after breed after breed?

i'll go!!

PJ's mom,i agree with you!Theyre going to end up banning every breed,until they realize that the pitbull isnt the only breed that can become vicous.every breed can!
I'd be ashamed right now if i was living in Ontario,i wouldnt be able to have my Bull Terrier but they looks somewhat like pits soo rediculous!!

[Kosmo&Cuddles]

I am soo ashamed to be living in Ontario or Canada right now. I'm a pittie owner and I can't believe what some people think about this breed of dog. My pittie is the biggest baby in the world. I just hope that these idiotic politicians wake up soon and see that banning pit bulls isn't the answer to fewer dog attacks. I doubt any of those politicans ever owned or was even around a pit bull in there life.

That nutcase from the Ottawa Sun should be put in his place for saying what he did. I don't know about anybody else but he pissed me right off!!

All we can do is hope for the best.

Im really surprised that they didnt include the English Bull Terrier.They are definently not known for being aggressive.I thought they would b/c they are somewhat related to those breeds.They look nothing like the Pitbull.Just curious,would you consider the Bull Terrier to have 'pitbull' characteristics?i know both around the same size,but look VERY different.

Actually they did include the English bull terrier. They said "any breed that might be described as a pit bull" which actually includes all of the bully breeds. When someone is talking about a pit bull, they usually mean American pit bull terrier, but any of the bully breeds can be described as a pit bull and unfortunatly it wouldn't exactly be incorrect.

I'm curious, but what happenes to those who already own Pitties? Do they have to get rid of their babies?

I didn't read through the whole thread to see if this was answered, but no, people who already own pitties have to muzzle them in public and have them on leash at all times. All the pit bulls in the shelters(most of the shelter population) has been euthanized as well. Go see Dog Memorial and oyu will see a sad story, its called, I'll Miss You Lico!

Poor little girl. Go see the website if you like too, she was there yesturday, now shes gone OHS

I know I posted above, but I'll post again!

I can't believe I live in Ontario right now. Like I said before, I wanted to adopt a pit bull when I moved out someday. But thats not going to happen anymore. I wish it owuld all go away.

And people would see that pit bulls are not bad dogs. They are just as suspectible of biting as any other breed! Ughh! This just sickens me. And just for your info, they are planning to go to all provinces with the banThats their theory though, tehy want Canada to be a pit bull free country!
