Pit Bulls and their bad rap

[mr.spooky]

the states, and governtments and media always need a bad guy. before it was pits, it was dobies, before that, rotties, then chows.
HERE IS WHERE I RIDE THE FENCE: yes, i do believe that pits are stronger than most dogs,,, yes i believe that some pits are more "game" than others, and yes,,,,, i believe that pits COULD be dangerous, weather it be genetics, or the owners, im not quiet sure, but they CAN be tought obiedience. that brings me to my next thought.
I feel that there should be tight laws on pits, before you start :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:in,, hear me out. at this point, states are banning the APBT and gaining nothing from it. the RESPONSIBLE owners are getting their dogs taken away, and gaining nothing. so this would be my plan:
A: if you own a pit, it must be registered through some kind of data base, also there would be a one time regesteration fee.
B: after the regesteration, there would be a certian amount of time that is allowed for you to have your dog certified through a trainer for obedience (at the owners expence).
C: before any cosmetic surgeries ie. ear crops,, the dog should have proof of all vacinations. i work in a necropsy room at a diagnostic lab and it amaises me of the amount of pit bulls that have the ears done that die of worms or other preventable complications.
these fees mention above should be heavy as well.
i just think if you have fees and regulations, it would keep all of the riff raff from picking up a dog just to tie it to a oversized chain and perading it down the street to look cool.
i am a pit bull owner and would more than happy to abide by these fees simply because i love the breed and i love my dog. BTW all of his shots are current, and he has been through obiedience training . http://www.easttnk9.com/client's%20dogs.htm scroll down close to the bottom of the page and see Mr. Spooky.
