As one poster pointed out, for example in Ireland there is a muzzle law for pit bulls in public and they are not allowed in dog parks. I am not disagreeing with the right as pit bull owners to walk our dogs but regardless of the other dog owners irresponsibility, it is not pit bulls that wind up hurt or killed. Eventually the general and stupid public gets tired of hearing about pit bulls hurting other animals, even when the other animals are at fault and that is why they start feeling it is easier to require a dog with so much capability for damage to be the one muzzled rather than every other idiots dog.

Think of it this way. There are a lot of kids who jay walk or run into the street. It is dangerous and wrong but in a effort to protect them the city may reduce the speed limit in an area where this may happen to 15 mph essentially punishing the drivers for the fact the some kids are idiots and not careful. It is easier for a city full of pet owning idiots to protect those idiots dogs from pit bulls by requiring the pit bulls to be muzzled than trying to stop the other dog owners from being idiots. So right or wrong if pit bull owners cannot keep the idiot pet owners dogs from being hurt by their dogs then you wind up with some muzzle law because regardless of who is at fault, it is the pit bulls that wind up doing the damage and paying the price for every idiot owner.

If your pit bull winds up getting a hold of another animal in your neighborhood, regardless of fault, in the end it will be your dog and you who pays a price. Help us all out and make sure you can prevent this, with mace, break stick, muzzle or whatever but do not allow your dog to grab another one even if it is loose. It will help us all out.
