Pit bulls are innocent
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.
By Ken Foster [2007-08-20]

  • Remember what voice of reason

    said back on p. 3? I urge everyone to go back and read that post because it pointed out that all that hysteria that leads to breed bans stems from mostly quite incomplete information. Finding how often any particular breed bites depends upon finding out how many of that breed there are. You would have to look at percentages and not total number of bites per breed. Otherwise we only have anecdotal evidence.

    I know that and I am a total math dummy.
