The laws aren't even about a breed ban. It's about reducing the avenues for appeal that "bully breed" owners have for contesting their dogs being put down following an attack and increasing criminal penalties for owners that can't control their dogs. I think this is the way to go about this. It's not the dogs who are at fault, it's the dumb cunts who get dogs they can't control as a fashion statement.

The next thing authorities need to do is crack down hard on unlicensed backyard breeders.
