I absolutely agree and support AAS's stance on dangerous breed of dogs.
I would like to point out from my years of volunteering at the Vancouver pound and the SPCA, it is these dangerous breed...both pitties and rotties that were the most abused breed and suffered a cycle of being chained or left outside as guard dogs, to end up at a pound, then a pound again, and then often killed by agencies worried about releasing these unsociable dogs into the public.

These are the dogs that came in with cigarette burns on them from abuse, peed on their kennel floor when anyone came near -- so fearful of humans. Honestly, what 'decent' family person is going to adopt these dogs? So, the dogs would go to less than favourable people who liked them because of their size and breed, and those were the dogs in yards, on chains, and being used as guard dogs. How dangerous would those dogs become as they had no socialization at all?

I shudder to think, and it makes me angry, as both a dog lover and a parent, that these dogs suffer the way they do, and that children are the ones who get hurt. Remember - it is a child's face closest to a dog's mouth...whereas adults might be bitten on the arms, a child is bitten on the face).

WHY is not more being done by the SPCA and municipalities? How many kids are going to die or be maimed?
