A good friend of mine works at The Humane Society. Additionally, my boss's wife helps run an organization that helps rehab dogs and troubled teens. They also have a dog training business. I personally know actual professionals who work with bully breeds all the time, and they're all fervently against breed specific bans. Here in Detroit, we see our fair share of the breed, more than any one city in Oregon will ever see.

Pit bulls, specifically American Pit Bull Terrier, have been bred to not be aggressive toward humans, as they have historically been put down if they attacked a human. In fact, the American Bully was bred to be a companion dog (like a Shih Tzu.) Banning breeds is like banning sports cars. Sure, they could be dangerous, like any other dog/car, but they could also be a lot of fun. This is just a lazy way of not holding humans accountable for their actions - training their dogs like any other responsible dog owner.

I say ban the owners, not the dog.
