Remember that woman in rural LA county who was killed by a pack of dogs last week?

212. We have to ban "assault dogs".

Let's face it, even though pit bulls are just canine quadrapeds, the fact this that they have certain physical appearances and cosmetic features that make them somewhat more able to cause carnage than other breeds.

But the real problem is the owners. The kind of people that want to buy "assault dogs" are far more likely to have fantasies of those dogs saving them or their families from the attack. The are far more likely to train those dogs to be vicious, as well as have "assault dogs" to compensate for having tiny, tiny penises and/or general cowardice.


There is no "need" to have assault dogs. A shepherd or a retriever is functionally equivalent, but will not feed into the sick and dangerous fantasies of people who really just want the opportunity to legally kill somebody.

And banning "assault dogs" does not infringe upon your right to own dogs, and it certainly doesn't trump the right of children to live free from dog violence.
