I was just wondering what peoples veiws are on pitbulls being illegal, I mean making them illegal doesnt really get rid of the problem and it's still possible to get those dogs, furthermore I think the people that have pitbulls now are more likely to be the ones that don't care about braking the law and do anything to use a dog to look 'Hard'. Although I had a friend with a pitbull and it was such a nice dog it's a shame that they have mauled children etc. I do honestly believe that if a pitbull is brung up correctly and isnt abused/use for fighting etc they can make excellent pets. I don't agree with making them illegal, However i'm not sure how I would feel had it been my child being bitten etc. How do you feel?

you could do with clarifying that bit as it can be read that your friends pitbull mauled children.

The usual arguement, its not the dogs its the owner so no they shouldn't have been made illegal because a small number of them bit / maimed / killed people...
Should they ban cars for the same reason?

They should be DWA... it will help deter people getting them for protection or to attack people...

My point the rest of my family see my young sister and think a pitbull would instantly hert her. I dunno It just seems alot of the incedients have been unclear and we are not told everything.

Yes!! that is an excellent point!

yeah dwa would make sense.
would definitely keep keepers to a select few who actually want to care for them and not take advantage of what they are capable of.
