Closed Lift Pitbull Type of Dogs Ban

Closed on

Many people in the UK and I believe that pitbulls shouldn't be illegal. They are the most misunderstood breed of dog, all dogs can be trained to be aggressive. It is the owners actions if the dog is violent or not. Pitbulls and Staffies are the best family dogs to own.

Pitbulls are own for having a bad reputation due to the owners faults. If any dog is violent they should be kept on the lead and muzzled. Pitbulls are statistically the most friendliest of dogs to other dogs and humans. And find it very difficult to be alone. http://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/american-pit-bull-terrier#/slide/1 If Pitbulls are only given to good owners, then none of the Pitbulls will be aggressive to others. I have owned staffies my whole life and they couldn't hurt a fly.
