But isn't the issue that the dogs were dangerous? They attacked innocent people. What other breed does that? I'm starting to think banning the breed might not be such a bad idea afterall. 
Theres no denying that an attack from a Presa Canera or similar type dog is more lethal than that of a Min Pin. There's no denying that these canines are in the hands of some irresponsible folks.
There have also been the majority of people breeding the aggression out of these dogs and they have done a great job of it, unfortunately there are breeders/owners that have different motives and they are hurting the animal's possible existence. Everything negative associated with these dogs is most often the result of human intervention, so why is it this breeds fault? I don't believe it's fair that we paint with such a broad brush and have responsible owners with well behaved dogs pay the ultimate price through banning.
If theres an aggressive, unattended animal running around, shoot it in the head for all I care, fine owners, there are bi laws that need to be enforced. Public awareness, no different than all the other campaigns that exist(ed) like, wear seatbelts, dont drink and drive, shit like that, so owners learn to become more responsible, but just banning a specific breed entirely is retarded.
