Why does it always have to be an incident that leads to an action. This should have been sorted years ago. Any dangerous animals should be banned and anyone breeding any animal that can attack should not be tolerated.

[@yezki8]

Because if not, then there would be public arrest, where many loud commons will shout "THESE POOR ANIMALS DONT HURT US YET, WHY YOU BAN THEM?" I mean, LOOK at these comment section. Some people still complain on why this ban is there in the first place

Suppose the police wont be holding alsations then ??

[@jamessmith99731]

The public can't have weapons of war, therefore the same should apply to the government. Your logic.

[@mahraz1]

You own a dog, feed the dog, keep the dog and walk the dog,...YOU are RESPONSIBLE for the dog...

[@geoffwright9570]

Perhaps potential dog owners should have to pass a suitability test to prove their ability to maintain control over their dogs. And dog walkers should be restricted to no more than two dogs at any time.

[@user-dj3yv6je9n]

Explain why the dogs are as they are, and anybody with two brians shouldnt buy a pitbull if they have a new born baby

[@K9unitmanchester]

The xl bully isn't bred to fight, these people Jesus

[@DaFuzzBug]

Ah yes, Lords who will happily import exotic animals to live on their estates are qualified to decide weather to ban a particular dog breed. Hear Hear!

[@jj-gu5ol]

just make sure if you take our trained bullys they come back to us within a week of accessing because we dont want our dogs turning skinny and untrained because of your guys neglect in the kennels ! if the untrained bullys get put down then the owners will get a nice German shepheard and make that dog the same way because they dont no how to train a dog period and dont want to pay

[@user-dj3yv6je9n]

Dog breeding is an issue, but thats the point its not the dog

[@djunior874]

Some dogs have been selectively bred to be more dangerous, e.g. pitbulls, so you're right in that humans bred them, but it absolutely is the dogs.

[@bumblaster9000]

if it's not the dog then leave your friendly well trained Pitbull in a room with a new born for an hour and show the result please
