If they can't control their animals then they shouldn't have them. I own a American Pitbull Terrier and I have control over her. She does not attack. She is protective and will growl, but when I tell her to hush she does. Your problem sounds more like owners that should not have any dogs. They have no control. Report the owners to the local authorities, but please don't put the blame on the breed and by trying to ban the breed you are adding to the rep!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its the owners you should be mad at not the dogs. The only bad dog is one with a bad owner. I think maybe you should try to talk to your nieghbors instead of complaining to people who can't do anything for you because I am pretty sure you are just pissing people off.

ok if thats the case then
people cant handle their alcohol consumption so ban alcohol.
people cant handle their teenagers so ban pregnancy
people shoot people so ban the gun
people die from prescription drug use so ban the pharmacies.

But, responsible ownership should extend to owners of all larger breeds. Training the dogs as well as the owners is an excellent start. I would think you would start at the local level with going to a town meeting (for lack of being able to think of the correct words) and addressing this issue with them. I don't know if you would have to have a petition for this but I'm sure if you do they will tell you that at that time. FYI.........Not all pitts are dangerous. My son has a daughter soon to be 2 years old. They have a Staffordshire Pitt in the house that is right at 5 years old now. I was a little concerned about her being around my granddaughter but after seeing them interact I no longer worry. But, it's like my son tells everyone, even though the dog is well behaved as long as she has teeth she could still bite. She can be very protective of my granddaughter with strangers but neither of them are ever left unattended inside or out even though there's a fence. I hope you pursue this but don't limit it to pitts. Any dog can attack. Good luck. You do have a good point here. But, responsible ownership should extend to owners of all larger breeds.

I think the only way to knock sense into these people is to hit them it their wallets. If your wife was injured by this dog, sue their asses off and file complaints with your city. We really need to hold idiot dog owners accountable, they ruin it for all of us. Unfortunately, pits tend to be the dog of choice for idiots.

You said it yourself: "they can not control them" It's the owners that deserve the blame here, not the dogs. Pitbulls are NO different than ANY other 40+lb dog. If these people cannot control a 40lb dog, you should be happy they don't have a 80lb lab, or a 200lb mastiff or great dane. i'm also not sure where you got the idea that pits are supposed to be better protection, better guard dogs, etc.... They're not. They're just a dog. Nothing more. You need to get better facts, and a clearer understanding of dog obedience. I'm also interested in the details on your wife getting 'attacked'. Your rant is off base.
