Ohio State Legislature to Propose Legislation Regarding "Pit Bulls"

http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080622/NEWS24/806220304 I feel that any law which automaticly persecutes a breed of canine is racist in nature. Just because Saffordshire Terriers (Pit Bulls) are stereo-typicly given a bad reputation, by society, is no reason to discriminate against them, in relation to other dod breeds. To do so would in my opinion, be like the Nuremberg Laws http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws, in Nazi Germany. Genocide of canines is little better than genocide of humans, in principle. I'm sure that some might also argue similar restrictions on the negroid race (blacks), due to the high crime rates attributed to them. However no one would ever suggest that we ever place restrictions on them, and or exterminate them. Laws must be crafted which are fair for dogs and there owners, plus protect the public safety. All dogs, regardless of breeding, which attack a human being, should at minimum be locked up, and/or put to sleep. But unless there is just cause, an indivisual domesticated canine should be able to live it's life in peace and freedom. Notably, Ohio defines as domesticated any canine with at least one domesticated ancestor http://www.wolfdogalliance.org/legislation/statelaws.html. Sort of like a grandfather clause for dogs. I remember, when I was a boy, seeing a dog which was 99% wolf, and getting to pet it. Dogs which are partialy of wild descent are not currently regulated as stringently as Staffordshire Terriers might someday be.
