This angers me not because of the fact that they are singling out pitbulls, but they are putting up bylaws without even understand the roots of the problems. It's almost always the owner that's at fault when it comes to an agressive dog attack/bite incident, whether that be not training the dog properly, or neglecting the dog. I have a 2 year old lab that used to play with this pitbull, and the pitbull's owner was always complaing about how the dog isn't behaving right but they don't realize the fact that walking the dog for only 15 mins a day and then leaving him out in the yard all day isn't exactly call responsible dog ownership. Having said that, with the right guidance, there's nothing wrong with the pitbull and he was able to socialize and play with my dog quite well, with the occational rough play that I stop immediately. I think a lot of the small dogs are quite yappy and they instigate a lot of negative interaction between dogs, and just because they're small, people brush it off as a non-issue but when a medium to large dog even barks once, they get all up in arms saying how a dog is agressive. /rant
