Campaigners have welcomed the move to outlaw the breed they argue is "a clear and present threat to public health", but concerns have been raised it may not be practical and lead to other kinds of dogs being prohibited.

    Because shitheads are just going to move on to the next breed. That’s already effectively what happened with the XL Bully. The dogs are nowhere near the hardest to train and socialize. They just have the street rep.

      I don’t understand your point. Are you saying if we ban pit bulls people will choose other violent dog breeds, and those people are shitheads? Or are you saying people who want to ban pit bulls are shitheads and banning pits will open the door to banning more violent breeds?

        The owners who buy these animals specifically because of their street rep will just choose another breed. We need laws about breeding and training.
