I heard interesting mark about big agressive dogs.

I am all in favor of banning certain dog breeds in urban areas. If you want to own an aggressive, dangerous breed on your farm, or out at your cabin in the woods, go ahead. But the danger of owning these dogs in densely populated areas outweighs any benefit they offer.

I disagree.

A dog's personality has much more to do with its upbringing than its breed.

Furthermore, responsible owners do not allow animals to roam free.

My family has owned several large breeds that are commonly associated with agression, yet with proper socialization and training, we have never had a problem. Also, we have never allowed our dogs to run lose.

While I understand your position, it would anger me immensely if my father's adorable bull mastiff was taken away due to a witch hunt of sorts.

Also, who decides which dogs would be banned? Ive got a friend with a mean labrador....

If you disagree you can't say that dogs have a "personality" .

Talking about bad or good animals by human standards is just silly. To be bad or good one has to be aware first. Animals are usually so stupid that they are not aware. They're pure instinct, a warm place and a pack leader can make them comfortable and a nice piece of meat can make them wild beasts.

About banning certain breeds. That will prove as uneffective as banning certain types of drugs, even more considering what Lemur said about cross-breeding. And I'm against it. I believe that all animals by their nature have the capacity to cause disasters, but they're still not responsable, considering they're only objects and have no conscience. Now taking away certain ANIMALS (not breeds of animals) from their owners because they prove to be dangerous that's another thing, and I see no problem with it, it's easily enforceable too.
