So, I take it you wouldn't see the harm in someone deciding that YOUR pet MUST be spayed or neutered because THEY feel THAT breed has a few examples that are dangerous.
And I don't own a pit bull, nor do I have the desire to.
But what breed is next, after pit bulls? Honestly, a few months back, a local woman was killed by two Great Pyranees. Wasn't the first time for that breed either. Akitas? German Shepherds? Dobermans? So, where do you draw the line?
You don't see the harm in making an entire breed extinct, over the poor behavior of a few examples. That's a very interesting position. It has all sorts of possibilities.

Mass hysteria, generalizations, and stereotyping, all in one thread. Not to mention placing
ALL blame squarely on a particular breed (could just as easily be a group of another type) without regard to the specific owners and animals involved. Very interesting and enlightening.
