I think they are stupid and needless and just a case of extreme paranoia. I wondering why they in most places they did'nt do this to the Rottweiler, Doberman, or GSD when their was a bunch of bad publicity going around these breeds? Calling them killers calling them dangerouse? But because of the myth and I repeat it is a MYTH about Pitbulls having locking jaws it is a bigger deal!
Because of these bans it has only sparked more hate for the breed. I myself have been Physically attacked for owning pitbulls as were my dogs. I am constantly given crap about my dogs when they are usually the best behaved dogs in the situation. These bans are not helping but just sparking more fear of this breed. It just irks me for sure.
