My question to mr. Trump is:

If your employee had been bitten by a poodle would you want all of them destoyed?? or How about a Cocker spanial? I read an article once that place the Cocker Spanial in the TOP 5 breeds who bit a child and this resulted in a hospital visit!

I think that needs restated: COCKER SPANIAL is in the TOP 5 of ALL breed to cause a bite to a child!!! yet no one lobbies to have Them outlawed or destoyed... theres little to no talk of them being a "dangerous breed"!

Now I will say this: not all dogs, regardless of breed and proper raising are safe, there are dogs out there (at least a few in most EVERY breed) that turn on people for NO APPARANT reason, just like there are people in our society that are sociopaths for no apparent reason. However on the whole MOST dogs of ANY breed if raised properly make a safe and trustworthy compainion, just like most Humans if raised properly are law abiding good people. You see Dogs are amazingly similar to us. Most your criminals are criminals due to a poor upbringing in childhood. And in general when a dog is "bad" it's because it was "made bad". The ratio of "Bad Dogs" for no apparant reason is NO higher for a "pit bull" than for any other breed out there! In fact it is surprisingly LOWER than several other breeds!!! Yet over and over we hear about these 'pit attacks' (some not even caused by a "pit" but someother breed!)Yet how often to you hear about "lap dogs gone wrong"? Rarely if EVER! The sad fact is when a "pit", a Rottwieler, a Doberman, or Most any type of Big or "Bully Breed" dogs does attack the damage is often VERY considerable, ie severe mutilation or death. And so people fear these powerfull dogs. But this fear is based on the OUTCOME of an attack NOT the PROBABILTY of it happening.

That's like being paranoid of lightning... your chances of being struck are pretty slim, it happens once and awile to someone or some creature, no doubt about that... but do we run around all day in rubber suits in fear of being struck? NO and why not? because we know the statistics we, know that the probablity is unlikly enough to make rubber suits an unnecessary, and ridiculous solution. But if EVERY time someone or something got hit by lighting we heard about it on the news (and we were never givin information about other natrual tragadies) I bet rubber suits would sell out quick!
