Unfortunately, I think this is going to be a cyclical game of whack-a-mole. Pitbulls were already banned, but they just renamed them to Staffies or American bully, and business continued as usual. Really, this needs to be combined with a more blanket system of holding the dog owner responsible for the damage/'crimes' that their dogs commit. If your dog mauls someone, it should be treated the same as if the owner had done it themselves with their own hands -- including jail time and massive fines. Dogs should all be chipped (with unchipped dogs being subject to immediate seizure and potentially destruction) so owners would be less inclined to maul-and-run. After all, one of the favourite arguments made by bully-breed supporters is that it's not the breed, it's the owners. I say fine, lets hold the owners appropriately responsible for their dog, for all breeds.
