The pitbull and pitbull-cross in Australia

Many local councils [governments] in Australia are trying to get rid of "dangerous" breeds including the pitbull. The measures include the extermination of dogs identified by councils as a pitbull or pitbull cross, a 10 fold increase on penalties applied to other breeds, desexing, banning of sales on pups, muzzling, particular warning signs on owners' properties. I reckon the situaton will only get worse. We have found the pitbull is a very loving and emotional dog that does not know it is a dog. We treat them as part of the family and they have and do, give us more than we give them.
