Rejected petition Make pitbulls legal to own in the UK

I think pitbulls should be allowed to be owned in the UK because they are the most kind and gentle dogs you could meet. They are great around children and other animals depending on how they are raised. The only reason pitbulls are seen as a vicious breed is down to the owners that raise them wrong.

The rescue is in New Orleans, LA
There you will see that pitbulls are more than just a vicious and dangerous breed, they are loving, gentle and beautiful dogs that just need to be seen like they are just the same as any other breed out there.
