Wikipedia said:The Act also covers cross breeds of the above four types of dog. Dangerous dogs are classified by "type", not by breed label. This means that whether a dog is prohibited under the Act will depend on a judgement about its physical characteristics, and whether they match the description of a prohibited "type". This assessment of the physical characteristics is made by a court.
http://www.housing.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-110908-012.pdf said:Residents may not board dogs of any breed (including a mixed breed) that are deemed
“aggressive or potentially aggressive,” unless the dog is a certified military working dog that is being
boarded by its handler/trainer or approval is obtained by the Installation Commander in writing. For
purposes of this policy, aggressive or potentially aggressive breeds of dogs are defined as a Pit Bull
(American Staffordshire Bull Terrier or English Staffordshire Bull Terrier), Rottweiler, Doberman
Pinscher, Chow and wolf hybrids. Prohibition also extends to other breeds of dogs or individual dogs that
demonstrate or are known to demonstrate a propensity for dominant or aggressive behavior...

I agree: the damage that these dangerous animals inflict on their innocent victims is truly sickening, appalling, and an affront to human decency.
ascii_man said:You seem to think that hairsplitting technicalities on this point means "Aha! Therefore Pit Bulls are wonderful pets and make great additions to a community." Wrong. Dead wrong. There is still a small group of breeds which inflict a disproportionate amount of death and serious injury on neighbors, children, and others unlucky enough to cross paths...
I suppose if you want to have a fenced in 100 acre farm or something, feel free. But when living in community, there is no right to inflict danger on other people.
