Perhaps it is merely this area, but the law-breaking local biker gang and wannabe-bad-ass-type people are the ones who own Pit-bull dogs around here. Irresponsible people can make any dogs dangerous. Some breeds, like the Pit Bull sem to be more easily trained to be dangerous & or are prone to revert to that trait & are therefore seem to be sought after by these "Types" of people.
: The Pit-bull seems to be the breed which is attacking and mauling passerby people the most - hense I agree with the bans, where-ever they might be necessary.
: I do not agee with the neutering, though. If it is imperative for personal safety that they be banned, all in the area would still be dangerous, would they not? Does neutering 'change' this inherant aggressive behaviour? If still dangerous, they should be put down, not grandfathered.
