Ban PitBulls

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.

Rules:

  1. Keep it civil.

  2. No advocating for violence.

  3. 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 stopped from being forcibly bred into this world.

  4. No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.

A DOG owner whose pit bull and American XL bully attacked a man in Worcester is due to be sentenced next month.

Matthew Smith's unneutered male bully, Kyro, and female pit bull, Sasha, attacked Christopher Buffrey while being dangerously out of control in Vivian Avenue, Worcester.

Mr Buffrey was left injured during the incident in September last year.

Smith pleaded guilty to having in his possession the fighting dogs under the Dangerous Dogs Act and also having dogs dangerously out of control.

The 26-year-old, formerly of Christine Avenue, Rushwick, who has now moved to Birmingham, was due to be sentenced on Wednesday (June 4) but failed to attend court.

His solicitor Jo Outhwaite applied for an adjournment citing Smith’s travel and accommodation problems.

She said the Crown Prosecution Service had also not filed an application for the destruction of the dogs and a disqualification from being in charge of dogs.

“It seems there are no draft orders," she said.

"These applications do need to be made. In light of that, I’m going to ask for an adjournment.”

Chairman of the bench, Susan Dowty, adjourned the case until Tuesday, July 1 at 10am when Smith will be sentenced at Kidderminster Magistrates’ Court.
