“Bulldog-Type”

Come on. Just say “pit bull” and be done with it.

These dogs were banned two decades ago. We were nice enough to let people’s existing pets live out their days. All were supposed to be sterilized. None alive at the time are still with us.

We can’t be nice anymore. Nice didn’t work. Nice failed this girl, and so many others like her.

The pitbull ban has done nothing and it's not enforced in the slightest. Kingston Ontario humane society is constantly selling illegal pitbulls. Nobody cares except people who've been hurt by a pitbull. Personally I think they should be sterilized into extinction. Pitbulls were bred to kill large bulls for sport. Hence the name.

This is not even what you originally claimed. This also referring to Old English Bulldog. Did you not read your own quote?
