Pit Bull Panic Attack

I recently stumbled upon a post Dog Blog about NYC Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr. attempt to ban pit bulls in our city. What's going on here? First we ban smoking, then trans fat, and now a whole family of dogs (I just found out that a pit bull isn't an actual breed, but a general term that refers to various types of terriers). Um, here's an idea, why don't we ban the idiots who train their dogs (whatever their breed) to be vicious. I'm absolutely serious. If you are proven guilty in a court of law of training a dog to attack, you are never allowed to enter any of the five boroughs ever again. Wouldn't that solve the problem? I admit there are occasionally dogs who are born vicious, but if a dog is habitually seriously injuring others, the problem is usually with the owner, not the animal.

Find out more about the bill, or protest it.
