    It being a pitbull is actually relevant this time, just not as relevant that he intentionally made it likely to bite…

    Like, you don’t train a dog to do that, you abuse it to do that.

    People like that will always get what they believe is the most dangerous breed. If you try to ban a dog breed (a ridiculous concept) shitty owners will easily circumvent it and raise dangerous dogs that are that breed or essentially are.

    It makes it a self-fufilling prophecy.

    But people always pick on breeds instead of something like a weight limit. No dog over X pounds being allowed to breed would actually do something, but no one ever talks about that.

      French laws banned a hand full of breeds entirely, and heavily restricted a whole host of others, specifically including all breeds that look like the banned ones. If you want a category 2 dog, it needs to be registered, insured, you need to show yourself capable and it need to be muzzled at all time in public.

      You can’t just “get a similar dog”, because that’s also restricted. Not that this guy would ever clear the legal requirements anyway.
