Have to disagree with Jester on this one...I grew up with German Shepherds, for 30 years my parents bred and showed them. In that 30 years we also witnessed a few dog attacks. Dogs that were owned by responsible owners. Many of the attacks reported to the KCC(Now the ANKC) at the time were by Pitbulls. these pitbulls again had responsible owners and these attacks took place without any provocation and in front of many many people. I am not talking about a nip because some idiot parent was not in control of their children, I am talking about judges in a show ring, people on sidelines etc.
These are dangerous breeds of dogs and they have not been banned for the fun of it, they have been banned based on advise from various bodies such as the ANKC who have provided further education in the past for these types of dogs. When a breed like this dog randomly attack like this, you cannot reasonably accept that the breed is not banned.
While I accept idiots account for some dog attacks, some dogs should simply not be allowed to be here based on their history in this country and many others. Over representation based on head counts will do this to anything. Much could be done for some of the humans in this country.
Oh for the record, that is my opinion based on facts, not media hype.
