They're talking about a breed ban here in Baltimore too. I believe it has most recently stemmed from two little boys being attacked by a dog off the leash, out of the yard, etc. I will admit to being slightly afraid of Pit Bulls, but I certainly don't blame them for the actions of dogs who are not taken care of properly. I mean if you get rid of Pit Bulls, next will be Pinchers, Mastiffs, Shephards, etc. and eventually you'll only be able to have a yippy hand held version only those would be banned too because of all of the ankle injuries.
I feel like a better course of action would be to have a mandatory training certificate required to keep breeds typically found to be aggressive. Then the owners would be educated about proper diet, etc. and people who are trying to buy dogs would be required to go through the process with the dog they plan to buy before the sale goes through.
