Many dogs can be trained to "not let go", but that does not mean the bite has any more strength. There is a common misconception that pit bulls have a more powerful bite than other dogs of similar size, but there is no scientific evidence to back that up.



Listen to Beowulf. The public perception of pitbulls has surpassed fear mongering long ago. I too was once guilty of this type of mythic demonization of pitbulls.

Essentially:
1. breed bans serve no one and avoid the true issue, bad owners.
2. Some people shouldn't have pets. Some people shouldn't have kids. Some people shouldn't have existed.
3. We're looking at a pitbull ban for our province. I contend, somewhere down the line some other "Dangerous" breed will come to the fore, once our fair land has been expunged of the dread pitbull menace.
4. There is no science in the branding of a dangerous breed.
