Pit bulls and breed bans

[Catherine]

The breed bans always end up causing the deaths of many fine gentle animals. People still get bitten because the breed ban gives them a false sense of safety.

What is lacking is training on how to handle a big dogs and train them properly. Also people have no idea how to approach an animal. Most dog bites are provoked by the people who get bitten. They do not respect the dogs boundaries and they do not recognize the signs that the dog is distressed by their behavior.

There have been some sad cases of young children killed by dogs. Usually the young child is alone with the dog. That is a bad idea and no one knows what really happened. A young child alone with a dog is not a good idea.

Misty had the right attitude. A dog is supposed to defend and protect its territory, but she trusted your judgement in all things.
