THIS, YES.

My stepmom had a pitbull that used to play with kittens, and was so nice and laid-back you could have taken food out of her mouth. Blaming the animals in these cases is ridiculous.

Not *super* related to politics, but this is important. In the ’60s it was Chow Chows. Here’s the thing: a dog is a dog, not a breed. Some dogs are grumpy, just like humans. Joe and I have a medium-sized terrier who *looks* super friendly, but will bite your finger off if you pet him in the wrong place. I’ve met way more nasty small, adorable dogs than big one. Any dog is capable of being mean and poorly behaved. It depends on their health (ours has epilepsy, which makes him edgy) and, most importantly, on the owner.

Breed bans are inhumane, unfair, and often notably focused on low-income areas, where they can go in and take every dog who looks remotely like a pit bull and have it put down.
