Montreal passes pit bull ban

[Coasting]

Its a complete lack of education and common sense with the rest of the general public and dog owners. No matter what you say their just too stupid to see anything else.

Fear mongering morons.

I think the real problem is that the majority of pit owners have no common sense and a lack of education.let me be clear I'm not saying all owners just saying the majority.I'm sure that some owners are responsible and understand that they own a powerful animal that needs to be under controll around children and fenced. Let's not forget that a women lost her life.That could be your mother daughter or sister. When have you heard of deadly attacks by a golden retriever or a Chihuahua? They are a powerful animals and this needs to be respected by the owners of this dog. To manny of the owners can't provide this. A lot of the people who are attracted to this type of dog want them for the wrong reasons. Would you trust your young child with a pit ??

Absolutely! 100%

Would I trust them with a Chihuahua? Not a chance in hell.

People here need to start researching other breeds. And looking at the damage they can do and have done. Just because its not a breed in the spotlight doesn't mean it's safe.
How strong do you think those livestock dogs are that are bred to fight off cougars, bears, packs of wolves, they can do a heck of a lot more damage then any bully.
Chows, Sharpe, Basenji, Lab, Bernese, a few of the breeds I've seen court ordered put to sleep because of attacks on humans and other dogs.

People are still continually proving they have zero education or common sense on the topic. Pit bulls with good owners make one of the best family and child safe dogs around.

It's all the same crap. Fear mongering morons. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.

Absolutely. To both points.

I really think that laws should be changed so that owner's are 100% responsible for the actions committed by their pets, and charged as if it was the owner that committed the crime. In other words, if the dog bites someone (even if it's a Chihuahua, even if it's the first time), the owner will be charged with assault, or aggravated assault if there are many bites or lots of damage in the assault. This would change things for a lot of people I think, and hold people more accountable. There are a lot of people that don't care if their dog bites someone and must be euthanized - they'll just go get another one.
