Victory! Pit Bull ban lifted in Montreal

[Catherine]

Quote:The only thing I am unsure of is this....the opposition mention those Pit Bull owners with a criminal record. It is true that sometimes those with criminal intent get a Pit Bull and train it up for violence. I think someone has to keep an eye on that situation.

The problem is the dog's owners again. It is always the owner. If a criminal has a dog and plans to use it for violent purposes, it is not the dog's fault. Certainly it is not the fault of the breed of dog the criminal is using. You are right though some owners need to be watched.

If the criminals don't have pit bulls they will use another breed of dog. Banning pit bulls didn't protect us at all.

I hope the Ontario pit bull ban is lifted soon. It didn't stop dog bites the way they thought it would. People are being bitten in bigger numbers, but by different breeds.
