Ban won't work

Vancouver,BC,Canada -- Pit bulls are banned in Ontario, but all that has done is to drive the breeding underground.

Illegal breeding is rampant, with pit bulls being bred not for temperament, but for money and aggressiveness.

Banning pit bulls has been a nightmare. The enforcement issues are overwhelming. In many cases, reliably establishing a cross breed as being a pit-bull cross is difficult or impossible
So, people simply get pit crosses and categorize them as boxer crosses, bulldog crosses or any number of other breeds.

Rather than passing breed-specific legislation, it's much better to invoke responsible pet ownership standards, as Calgary has done.

Calgary's rate of aggressive incidents dropped by three-quarters when it focused responsibility on the owner instead of on the dog.

Breed bans don't work. All they do is create an underground network where dogs are hidden to avoid the law. This makes it very difficult to hold irresponsible owners accountable.

LMAO, I knew it all along. The only reason that they will keep the ban is to make more money off of the fines that they instill on the "lawbreakers", like in Miami Dade County. Those guys are making a killing off of the ban.

I wish we could convince the world of this...I know we try but it seems like yelling into the darkness at times...

At least someone has figured it out...
