I'm glad your son was okay. It could have been far worse, of course.

Yes thank you! He does have 4 very small scars on his face which makes me cringe everytime I think about it but your right it could have been WAY worse.

Ban the deed, not the breed.
This is just complete and total ignorance. How sad that so many politicians who have no idea what they're even talking about have such power.

Ban the breed, and the deed takes care of itself.

Go try to buy a 1972 Ford Pinto.

That specialize in animal law? When was the last time you saw an ad offering to defend an animal control citation? Breaking news...If you have this expertise, speak up. Otherwise don't criticize.

Stop advertising your services here and you'll garner less criticism.

Are you the topix police? Do you have a comment related to the subject? The subject by the way is "Florida Lawmaker Wants to Ban Pit Bulls." Read the subject, then hunt and peck away.

Pit Bulls can be dangerous.

Sorry about the name but don't want florida lawmakers jumping on any of my female relatives. The Florida lawmakers are after the dog, BUT NOW THEY ARE AFTER THE FLORIDA FEMALE POPULATION ALSO!! Ask any woman who is trying to obtain or RENEW their Florida drivers license. The lawmakers have made rules, SPEFFICALLY aimed at the female gender of drivers in the State of Florida. Talk about DISCRIMINATION. Females who can't past floridas test, will no doubt be riding in the backs of busses next. I thought we ended this crappola, YEARS AGO!

It is part of the home land security put in by bush not the state of Fl. But it is up to each if they want to take part in it. And the state of Fl loves anything the bush boys do so lets enjoy it. Got what we asked for didn't we.

Women are particularly fond of dogs because dogs don't tell. Think I'm kidding?

You done like puts you can kiss my a**

Next - Blondes with Golf Clubs. Rep. Perry Thurston of Plantation needs to get his facts right. He is an African American and should know what discrimination does to society as a whole. I have 5 dogs and my Pit is the sweetest of all of them and the least aggressive. My Puggle is much more fierce.

First of all...you have too many dogs. Unless of course you are running a boarding kennel.

I'm in Middleburg, FL and my neighbors let pit bulls run lose harassing and lunging at me my two dogs, pug 16LBS...Chihuahua 8LBS...and break into our outdoor kitchen stealing food...I think they don't feed them everyday! And we asked them nicely but they just laugh! I am really worried about my kids safety! What should I do without getting hurt by my neighbors!

Call Clay County Animal Control...Then call the sheriff and tell him what you have just told us.

Thank god they are banning pit bulls. This should have been done years ago!

I agree. I have had the frightening experience of being confronted by a roaming pit while walking my own dog on a leash.

i realize that any breed can bite. i am so sick of the pro pit bull arguments. your group really needs to come up with some new ones. pomeranians cant jump on you to make you fall to the ground where you are at more risk. pomeranians just might stop biting if you kick em hard enough.<quoted text>

I am sick of the pit owners arguments too... They're a bunch of immature, irresponsible,sick, egotistical people. Pomeranians don't run in packs like pits do either.

Once, I was attacked by a pitbull in Oak Park, Illinois while riding my bicycle. The dog intercepted me, jumped up, and bit my shorts, which ended up with about a 6 inch rip in them. Since I am moving to Florida shortly, I would love to see that demonic breed banned from Florida.
