    A moment of silence for the victims of Labradors then.

    Pit bull apologists refuse to just look at the numbers logically. We don’t keep pet tigers, we shouldn’t keep pet pit bulls.

      I’d be suspicious that any lab that may have killed or severely injured someone isn’t a “lab mix” like the shelters push out.

      I just really don’t know how the mandatory training sessions doesn’t solve the problem for everyone.

      People who are ACTUALLY dedicated to raising these dogs will still get them. Those who would end up as shitty owners won’t bother with the hassle.

      Dogs get a better owner; owners get a better dog. Win-win all around.

      I grew up with Rottweilers, which were the “pitbulls” of the 90s. I have had 2 Dobermans, one sleeping next to me right now, and they were the “pitbulls” of the 80s.

      I fail to see how extermination is the answer when we have other methods available.

        It’s not extermination, just stop breeding them for retail sale. No one is advocating going door to door

          It’s weird how people insist that a certain breeed needs to be forced to keep existing. Many dog breeds no longer exist. In fact you can argue many breeds have died off and replaced with abominations.

            All of my dogs have only ever been rescue dogs anyway so mixed breeds for practically all of them. Purebred everything is garbage.
