Ms Nanci Creedon:

They are just unscientific and ineffective. I was looking at statistics earlier that showed El Salvador has the highest rate of homicides in the world, but I would not say someone from El Salvador is going to kill me. It is a similar concept. Hundreds of thousands of dogs on the restricted-breeds list die as old, friendly, happy, family, well-loved dogs. Moreover, having a restricted-breeds list means that if someone is looking for a dangerous, aggressive or status dog, he or she will not pick a poodle but rather a dog breed on the list, because the State has told us these are scary, bad dogs that can be raised as scary, bad dogs.
