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

216. We are talking about getting rid of a breed of dog that many people love

What is not to get offended by? If this was about cocker spaniels (the breed of my first dog) i would be furious. Why does the breed need to die? There are people who love the breed, some people have been saved from death by the breed, who raised that breed when they were kids and now are having their own kids raise it.

If this was about banning collies don't you think Lassie fans would be up in arms?

I mainly used offense because i was throwing the poster's own words back at him/her, but I think this is absurd. People are unfairly demonizing this breed and getting out of shape over one of the most rare events imaginable. Again, more lighting strike deaths than fatal dog attacks.

Again using the stats off an anti-pitbull site it comes out to 1 in 33k pits are involved. How is that in any way shape or form fair to the breed? People die in car crashes by around 3 orders of magnitude more than by pitbulls.

Again, using the very stats off that site chows/huskies/etc are all far more likely to attack and kill. Yet I have seen no ban chows or husky threads?

This whole thing smacks of authoritarianism, unfair stereotypes, irrational reaction, and some of the things some posters have said, animal abuse. This whole thing upsets almost every fiber in my being.
