It's an issue of the damage they can do if they are aggressive. I agree it's a shame that pit bulls have gotten a bad rap. And I think that if they outlawed Pit Bulls, the irresponsible people that currently have pits will simply get a different breed. I'd much rather get bit by a jack than by a Pit.

Do the licensing fees go into a general fund or are they earmarked for dog/animal-related programs? What's the point of making the license for a pit bull $50 compared to $6 for neutered/spayed canines and $17 for intact canines? Can a canine be "confiscated" if it doesn't have a license and the high fee for a Pit used to deter some people from paying the fee and getting their confiscated dog returned?

I've met Jack Russell Terriers that I wouldn't go near once again, but have by no means had a bad expertise with an American Staffordshire Terrier. If you are speaking about their owners- nicely, that's a distinct story. Humans are animals as well, and we have a tendency to each have our own tips about "moral concepts".
