Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.

Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.

The sole goal for this comm is to ban pit bulls from every jurisdiction and to treat the remaining ones with respect while every caretaker follows the required safety precautions to keep everyone safe. Dog breeds with documented health issues should also be prevented from being forcibly bred into this world.

Rules:

Keep it civil.
No advocating for violence.
No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.

Links:

Dogsbite.org is routinely slandered by the pro-pit lobby, but the site is informative and its data collection procedures are transparent and well-documented.

A woman wants a change in the law after her cat was killed by a loose dog.

Jess Rozee's cat Kitty was killed where she lives in Swindon - she said CCTV footage shows her pet being chased, chewed, shaken then left still just alive by two men with the dog.

Ms Rozee has started a petition that so far has 7,000 signatures on it, asking to make it an offence for a person's dog to kill another pet, by prosecuting owners.

I agree, but that part wouldn't apply because birds aren't pets (unless someone let out their bird, which I don't think happens, but in that case yeah it should apply).

This should be an offence, I hate seeing people with dogs that they can't even control on a leash, it's a danger to everyone and maybe this would make people think again about getting an upgraded pit bull terrier with max enchantments.

Also I would never let a cat outside without full supervision, they have become an invasive species basically (as u mention) killing off lots of other animals whenever they are out (but this should still be an offence if it was killed by someones dog, etc and the other way round).
