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]

  • Sorry, but

    Ask any judge or police officer - the dogs that end up mauling people are overwhelmingly pit bulls. I can accept that they can be trained to overcome the aggression that's built in, but WHY BOTHER? And most people don't. Why not just pick a breed you don't have to work so hard with? Or better yet, pick a mutt, because all breeds have problems.
