I remember reading they banned pit bulls in Canada (or maybe just Toronto IDK) and the owners got around it by just not calling their dogs "pit bulls" any more.

There's no commonly accepted definition of what is and is not a pit bull. So everyone that's into dog fights, putting spike collars on their dogs, and all that other shit will just call their dog a pit bull even if their dog is only scarcely related to a terrier at all. Then on the other end you have people that aren't into all that and they'll identify their dog as one of the literally dozen other names for nearly identical looking terriers. Guess which dogs get counted in the dog bite statistics and which don't? Guess which dogs are socialized to be aggressive and which aren't?
The definition has become so useless that it's basically like calling your dog dangerous. They ought to just pass legislation banning "dangerous" dogs.
Maybe we should just ban total shitheads from owning dogs instead. What an idea.

That's not true. Certain kennel clubs wouldn't allow them to become a standard breed (in their club), so offshoot clubs were created that do recognize the pitbull.

Also the fact that you don't know how fighting dogs were created and also the "related to a terrier" comment makes me think you've done no research on this whatsoever
Why speak so confidently on sonething you haven't looked into?
Also don't you know that dogs are bred to have beneficial traits for certain jobs? Even fighting dogs

There are no genetic tests to determine whether or not a dog is a pit bull. The whole thing is bullshit.

You sound like you don't know anything about dogs, yet still hold strong views on the matter. Sounds like how you are with just about every subject lmao.

The owners of poorly raised dogs deserve the dogs that they own. We should send them with their dogs off to a large remote island as punishment.

Courts have ruled that genetic identification is not required and that a person of "ordinary intelligence" can determine whether or not a dog is a pit bull. Yet studies show otherwise.

I don't know about the US etc., but I think in the UK our breed-specific legislation actually explicitly says it comes down to whether a dog resembles a banned breed well enough.
> You said people will grab a dog and call it a pitbull because they want to fight it
Yes. Or more often to just appear macho or tough.
> When in reality, they breed dogs to have traits that make them better fighters and call those pitbulls
Both can be true. One can true and one can be false. Neither can be true. It's a whole different discussion.
It looks like there are roughly 35 deaths in the USA per year from dog attacks. This is similar to the number who die by lightning strike per year.
Sounds like a lot of hysterics about a lot of nothing. All the more reason for you to have an incredibly strong view on the matter like you do here lmao!
Cut off your hand, no big deal right? You didn't die, don't become hysteric. And don't you think that number would be higher if pitbull activists had their way and dogs who had hurt people weren't euthanized?
Listen here. Consumer protection authorities have banned shit far less harmful than these fucking face-eating beasts. Hardly anyone was hurt by lawn darts. And those fuckin things only hurt when you throw them in a way that they land on a person.
