They are bread to fight and so they aren’t family pets. At least until we breed the instinct out of them again

Bred*

All dog breeds have the ability to fight. Chihuahuas notoriously test lower on temperament tests than Staffordshire terriers and have chewed the face off of babies many a time.

Honestly both chihuahuas and pugs should also be banned. It’s not their faults we bred them to be sick but we should very much like, stop. At least get all the ones that currently exist fixed. They weren’t inbreeding themselves by choice to begin with either so it’s not like we’re fundamentally removing some choice they had by stopping people from continuing to.

At least get all the ones that currently exist fixed.

Yeah, that’s not an idea that is going to be successful. How do you propose that actually happens? Should we send in cops to citizens homes to be checking whether their dogs are the right breed and fixed?

Pitbulls tend to be a mixed breed anyway. What does one do with a dog that tests as more of a Labrador but looks like a Pitbull? Does that dog still get murdered for looking like a pitbull?

People already have to register their pets where I am and pay a small yearly fee. That should be as simple as checking registration databases and mailing out ‘comply or get fined’ notices.
