To those of you in favor of the ban...Im sure some of you have had bad experiences with pits and are justified in your beliefs. However, Im sure you may have also had bad experiences with other breeds as well, or perhaps with a snake, or whatever...
Im curious though, as to how many of you have actually ever owned or been exposed to pit bulls? I have a 13 month old pit laying beside me in the floor right now. I look over and he is snuggled into a tiny ball with his head under his paws, tail tucked in, holding a stuffed bear in his mouth. He is the gentlest dog I have ever owned. Strangers can knock on my door and he becomes excited at the company. However, my neighbors, who frequently drink and use illegal drugs are not welcomed by my dog. He does seem to become agressive towards them. I am quite proud, as a single female living alone in the city, that I can feel safe. Why judge without knowlege? Why make remarks based upon ignorance rather than fact? It disgusts me.
