Also I don’t care how much training they have. All dogs have the potential to be dangerous to humans.
Do you think dogs should be banned?

As someone who's been around tons of Pits, Boxers, German Shepherds, Etc. No.
The fact that you're ignoring their level of training is ignorant at best, as training and treatment from their owner heavily influences big dog breeds.
Pits for example. They're highly intelligent, loyal, and people oriented as they were bred for human companionship. They love their owners so much that they're actually prone to separation anxiety from being away from their master for too long. They love learning tricks and when brought up in a loving environment are very affectionate and gentle to everyone in the house, including children.
Obviously any child playing with a dog needs to be supervised as they could unintentionally rile the dog up and cause it to bite which whether playful or not, is still liable to hurt the kid. (I know from experience lol) But if the child has been taught how to interact with a dog without riling them up too much, it's perfectly safe for them to play together.
In short, even a breed as widely known these days as vicious as Pits aren't in reality the killing machines people think they are, and a lot of times it's mistreatment from their masters that cause them to hurt people.
YES I AGREE WITH YOU SO MUCH! ALL DOGS SHOULD BE BANNED FOREVER!! MAY THE WORLD BE RID OF DOGS FOREVVERRR!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
I'm sorry but this logic is ridiculous. If we start banning dogs because they could be dangerous then the same logic should apply to everything. Cheeseburgers because they could cause someone to have a heart attack, knives because someone could cut themselves, all medicines because someone could have a severe side effect from it... see what I'm saying... it's silly to say "all dogs should be banned" when there's such a low percentage of risk. There's a better chance the preservatives and pesticides in our food will kill us than dogs.
Im not a pet person. Dogs are fine but from a distance. Im not trying to be indoors with them or any “domesticated” animals (cats, snakes, ferrets, lizards, rabbit, hamsters, etc) and would prefer not to date someone who allows pets indoors
no, thank you!! 👌

All humans have the potential to be dangerous to other humans.
Ban huh? To where?
Do you mean we should purposefully kill off a whole species? That’s wildddd.
People kill people more than any other animal does. So “ban” people? Snakes also kill people more than dogs do too- so “ban” them too?
Dogs were also here before humans were, but because of our level of consciousness, we should do as we please?
Dogs have killed people, dogs have also saved people. PS, we have possibly killed a far more larger amount of dogs, than they have humans.
I hope you understand how “banning” dogs is absurd.
This must be one of the most stupid questions I’ve seen on GaG.
it’s not the dog is the owner, in pretty much all cases attacks by dogs are down to shit irresponsible owners.
Yes assume dogs will attack etc, therefore don’t leave alone with a small child unsupervised.
This is the same as never leave a young kid with access to firearms, matches, bleach, knives etc
I would sooner ban stupid people from having kids, a common sense and parenting test, can’t pass it, then no kids allowed.
The one being stupid here is you if there is a danger with owning dogs then why not just ban dogs and get rid of the danger completely? It's the same logic for banning guns or personal ownership of any other kind of weapon. So what if it's the owner that's responsible? If the weapon were not there in the first place the problem wouldn't exist.
@Neosporin equally banning guns is utterly stupid and pointless.
Fucking illiterate trolls
@Neosporin 😂😂😂
Do some fucking research on what is actually legal to own first.
Now go fuck yourself you troll
I'm not a fan of dogs at all. Dogs are like my second biggest fear. That said, no I don't think they should be banned. I just think dog owners should always remember that they are very temperamental creatures. But dogs are used for a lot of good. They become like family to a lot of people. There are comfort dogs and seeing eye dogs and dogs that help with PTSD. So no, I don't think they should be banned.
@Neosporin why lol
Do you realize how much potential exists for humans to be dangerous to humans? Especially in this day and age where you've got pedophiles, rapists, human traffickers, murderers, drunk drivers, social media... Lets just do the right thing and ban humans. It's for the children.
No dogs should not be banned. Dogs help man ie Dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf, sniffer dogs that includes drugs , cadaver, explosives etc etc , rescue dogs, military and guard dogs, Sheep and working farm dogs, hunting dogs and so it goes on, if anything cats should be banned apart from pest control which a dog can do too, they shit everywhere in other people property they stink when they pee, they are certainly not loyal and will move to the neighbour if its more comfortable, kill birds and not even eat them etc etc, scratch there shit ( if they bother bury it ) walk all over work tops, dont have to be registered scratch up furniture I could go on, only a woman would come up with daft notion dogs should be banned. If you have a bad, vicious dog its generally the owner thats the problem. Ban dogs? Crazy !! Ban cats they have done sod all for man!! or woman!
Cats don't even kill 1/10th of the number of people dogs kill, and if dogs help a hundred people, they kill tens of thousands in return
Its pretty unrealistic to ban ALL females. Like I yeah I agree you gals get scary when its that time of the month but like we have adapted.
You also will need to take onto account how we Americans will reproduce if we ban all of you. We can sustain a country that long without you.
What do you think @Joker_
Can't sustain*
by the way did @vigors get banned?
Hell no, I can't imagine not having dogs as pets. I think a better option is banning stupid people that abuse them which causes the dogs to become aggressive. Any animal can become aggressive towards humans if mistreated or approached incorrectly so may as well ban birds, gerbils, cats, horses too... I've been bitten or nipped by all of them too so they should get the ban hammer as well!
I think it's all got to do with the bloodlines of these dogs
there is some Pitbulls that are great but there are ones that
are bad, yes it happens, I know a story of these couple owned
a German Shepherd and the dog was always a good dog and
had a great temperament but these people had an infant they
left the room for a couple of minutes and come back to the room
with their baby was killed by the German Shepherd so yes it happens.
With the number of dogs that have been seriously injured and sometimes even killed and the great risk that they pose I think it’s best to ban human children altogether.
Also I don’t care how much training they have. All humans have the potential to be dangerous to dogs
Not ALL dogs, but I agree that certain species should be banned. You have a greater chance of getting mauled by someone's dog, than you do by a wild animal. The fact that, "certain species aren't aggressive, the owners are" is a load of crap.
I think at the very least there should be stronger leash laws, and laws to eradicate aggressive strays.
Certain breeds are banned but I think keeping options open to anyone to buy a dog is dangerous.
Which ones are banned in the UK?
The banned dogs are
Pit Bull Terrier.
Japanese Tosa.
Dogo Argentino.
Fila Brasileiro.
However there are more that can be dangerous
Oh wow, I've never even heard of those. I googled it out of curiosity, and apparently those are banned in the States too. And there are even more that are banned. I think some of them right be mixed breeds created by people. Now I wonder where one can find them.
And I think there should be even more species that are banned.
Some of the banned ones on the list, I'm surprised they are banned
You are seriously stupid you clearly have never owned a dog to throw this ridiculous assumption out there are more kids who die in car accidents and from being murdered than they do from a dogs
should we ban cars and human as well because they are far more dangerous than dogs will ever be
I don't even like dogs, and I don't think they should be banned.
The Human race wouldn't even be where it is without dogs, and there are plenty of things far more dangerous than them, which aren't banned.
All humans have the potential to be dangerous to other humans so while we are at it we should ban driving, walking too quickly, use of grocery carts and breathing (it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions).
Absolutely not! All scissors have the potential to be dangerous to humans as well, should we ban them, too?
I have no idea where you get your unspecified numbers from, but they're bogus. You're probably just a troll, I guess.
One bad apple shouldn't ruin it for the whole barrel.
Dogs who attack people or other animals usually have little too no interaction with people or animals. Which the lack of responsibility fall back on the owner
Ignorance is dangerous and, therefore, should be banned.
Meanwhile I have no use for your kids but if you come for my dogs watch me rip into your chest and pull out your beating heart…
Don’t make me cut you
While we're at it let's also ban the automobile plastic bags bicycles scissors you know anything that's harmful or can be harmful or just get rid of it all
No... humans are a danger to humans aswell.
Also cars, toasters, wall sockets, water, swimming pools, the list goes on and on.
