State proposals to ban pit bulls reflect society's worst fears and prejudices. As the Michael Vick scandal has made clear, it is humans and not the dogs who are the criminals.
  • Awesome-o

    Chances are high that if you delve into that terrible story, you'll find that the pit bull in question was tormented and neglected from a young age by a local scumbag, and that is why the dog became vicious.

    You can torment any animal, human or nonhuman, and produce a vicious beast. I'm willing to bet that the scumbag who tormented that pit bull was himself a victim of a nasty and brutish childhood. Makes we wonder about Vick's upbringing.

    Anyway, you can press a button and make pit bulls disappear. The scumbags will just find another dog to turn into vicious killers.
