Laws that are breed specific:
I know this is a topic that many disagree with me and I'm OK with that. Hate me if you must but I do believe that laws do need to be put in place to protect us from what has become obvious as breed specific problems.

Yes I'm more than aware that the problem begins with the breeders and or owners of certain breeds. I know that not each and every pit bull ( I'm aware this isn't the only breed ) is a threat to the general public. Unfortunately however, there are too many of them to say that it is an isolated problem. It's cruel the way this and similar breeds have been used for dog fights and turned into killing machines and I'm sorry for them I truly am very sorry.

I worry for the safety of my children more than anything else. I live in a neighborhood that I desperately want out of, for many reasons. The school district SUCKS. It's in the city and we long to live in the country with acreage, peace, quiet and the ability to see the stars at night. With the recent problems with pit bulls in Virginia, there have been many attacks and a couple of deaths due to those attacks, coupled with the fact that a large majority of the people that live in this neighborhood have one or more pit bulls, I'm worried about the safety of walking past my own fenced yard.

I don't dare take a stroll here without a baseball bat and certainly I wouldn't think of taking my children with me. God forbid something should happen to them. Now I know some of you will say it is not a fear I should worry with. I feel it is. I think its time has come for laws on breed specific dogs to be in place. I don't know what the laws should be exactly but I do believe that things like high fencing that would make it impossible for the animal to jump over should be in there somewhere. I also think that if a dog of any breed shows any signs of violent behavior it should be put down. It is unfortunate for the animal, however an animals life should never be valued above that of a human's life.
with that said below are pictures of my nonviolent breeds.
