Two pit bull attacks on four-year-old children in British Columbia in a two-week period have prompted calls for the breed to be banned in this province.
The idea has been tabled in the wake of previous vicious attacks, but legislators have never acted. Owners and other advocates have argued that the breed itself isn’t to blame for the problem.
Ontario ignored such objections, however, and implemented a ban seven years ago. Is it time for B.C. to follow suit? Find us on Facebook and Twitter and tell us what you think about a possible pit bull ban.
