Well, Pitbulls are banned in the UK..along with four other Breeds (mostly Japanese Fighting Breeds)...and I have to say, I agree with all the previous Comments. The trouble is of course, it's like Banning Guns. It doesn't get to the root of the problem, which is, of course...Guns and Pitbulls are not inherently dangerous of themselves...but when mixed with an idiot..are (potentially) Dangerous.
Now of course, we have the situation, where Staffordshire Bull Terriers are replacing the Pitbulls, as the Dog of choice for the moronic Minority...they're legal (for now)...but what happens next?..More Dogs added to the Banned Breed list?...knowing the UK...possibly Yes!...... The media are most to blame...in the 1980's the German Shepherd was the 'Killer Dog'...the 90's saw the Doberman as the 'evil one'..... the Noughties, the Bull Mastiff.
The Dangerous Dog act serves only to appease the Middle Class hand wringers I'm sorry to say
