A large city only about 30 minutes away from where i live just passed a law banning pitbulls and will eventually move onto other breeds of dogs considered vicious. People living there are no longer allowed to bring a new pitbull into the city, and if you already have one you are required to build an enclosement that is atleast 6ft high and your not allowed to take the dog on a walk or anything....i was just wondering if this is becoming a more commong thing for citys to be passing laws like this. I only have small dogs, but a good friend of mine has 2 rottys and a doberman and her city is considering passing the same laws and she doesnt know what to do.

I know San Jose Ca has a ban on pit bulls haven been for years and it is a city of over a million, if a pit comes in to the HS it is automatically put to sleep - now San Fran is just the opposite - they have programs where they rehabiliate potentially agressive dogs and they adopt out pits. Some insurance co are starting to ban homeonwers insurance to people that they deem agressive licke pit bulls, rotwieller and dobies. I think it is getting out of hand. very sas situation

I think that they are getting out of hand too!! No letting a dog into a city. I think they should letthem have the "vicious dogs" if they have a fence of they keep them inside. But some pitbulls are very nice!!!! Someone down the street from me has one, it is a very good, nice puppy.

ugh. imagine living a life in a 6 ft enclosement without ever being able to go for a walk or run??? that alone would be enough to drive a dog mad! Gees and they think they are doing a good thing by banning? I say ban the irresponsible owners, maybe then some problems would be solved!!!
