Pit Bull ban suspended until Wed

[Catherine]

The muzzle idea for some dogs is a good way to protect people and other dogs. Some people will always find a way to have an out of control dog. It doesn't matter what breed. They either have no ability to train a dog or else they want a dangerous dog and encourage the dog to be that way.  We need legislation to target the bad owners.

The other half of the solution is to train people how to act around dogs. Many of the small child incidents involve the child being alone with the dog. I would not leave a baby on the floor with a dog until I was sure that it would be safe. Small children have high pitched screams and that can sound like a prey animal. It is not just pit bulls that respond to that.

There is talk of pushing to remove the Toronto pit bull ban. There are less pit bulls and more dog bites. Clearly the ban has not worked.
