"it's the owners fault"
There are just as many awful labradoodle owners yet labradoodles are not out here killing people. It is the breed, it's always been the breed.

Ban PitBulls

Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.
Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.
The sole goal for this comm is to ban pit bulls from every jurisdiction and to treat the remaining ones with respect while every caretaker follows the required safety precautions to keep everyone safe. Dog breeds with documented health issues should also be prevented from being forcibly bred into this world.
Rules:
-
Keep it civil.
-
No advocating for violence.
-
No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.

Also, when you have a violent breed, it is the owner's responsibility to have control over that damned thing. Not one, or the other, but a bit of both.
I grew up with a pitbull. When I was a child my dad was a logger and was extremely strong. One day our pitbull decided to attack another dog. My dad, even with all his might could not get our pitbull to let go. There is no controlling pitbulls. I Ioved that dog, but I would never recommend anyone have that breed.
I know of a lot of ropes and chains that are stronger than pitbulls. You control it by restricting it's movement. You don't control it's nature. I think that it is a breed that should go the way of the dodo myself.
According to WOIO, citing neighbors, the family owned seven dogs who had reportedly been involved in prior attacks on animals in the neighborhood. As of now, the police have not revealed who the owners are of the dogs involved in the attack.
Kirby alleged to Fox 8 News that the dogs killed his pet cat and that he had intended to make a police report a week prior.
So this was a time bomb
