Why are people so ready to control other people's lives.
To anyone declaring this article as false, I think you are missing the point. I.E. that some people have and love wonderful dogs that are considered pit bulls and some bad examples does not give the state the right to legislate what you can and can't have for a Dog. I am confounded by supposed liberals who think legislating the hell out of people's personal life is the answer to a better society. If someone has a dog that is out of control and biting neighbors etc... then and only then, once a boundary has been crossed, once something harmful or wrong has happenned does the state have the right to take action. Invasive preventative measures are among other things, unconstitutional. Whether Pit Bulls are or are not genetically predisposed towards violence, does not give us, or anyone the right to say you can't have one. Perhaps people don't want to live under that threat, but in that case don't live in a free society. And don't get self-righteous over something as silly as a pet, you have no idea why people love thier animals and you have no right to try and control that.
