Reply to comment by [deleted] in Renting With Pitbull by weebchildren

Not even remotely true since it's state law that towns cannot discriminate against any breed.

No, that applies to municipalities passing ordinances, not apartment complexes. The latter are free to make any regulations they like.

Reading my lease rn lol, pits are banned. Also includes everything from Rottweilers to Akitas. People ignore the rules pretty frequently but its right in the lease. I live in Stamford for reference.

You made it sound like residential neighborhoods. Yes individual complexes and landlords can. Hell I rented places here that only allow cats and no dogs.

Changed. They’re banned in almost every complex in the city. Wish people actually followed those restrictions but 🤷🏼‍♂️

That’s dumb. They should have done the opposite. They should ban pit bulls on the state level.

I think pre 2013, towns could make laws banning them.

Laws have to have a rational basis to hold up.

You mean like data and statistics about which breed is involved in the most attacks? About which breed is currently the most abused? About which breed currently occupies shelters in the greatest number? About which breeds have the strongest jaws and which tend to inflict the worst injuries? Because 100% I agree with you that that data supports such a law.

If you can ban assault rifles you can ban pit bulls. The Constitution doesn’t guarantee your right to a dog.

4.7 million dog bites in the US annually, 800k requiring medical attention. Dozens of deaths, most of which are from shitbulls. Seems pretty rational to me.

Dogs should be banned outright, they're fucking nuisance creatures, and disgustingly unhygienic. One barking dog ruins an entire neighborhood's right to peace and quiet, and it's practically impossible to find one without some stupid asshole that wants all the positives and none of the responsibility. Fuck every dog owner on earth. Most self absorbed, vapid douchebags to exist.

No, your dog isn't interesting and nothing about it makes you interesting. Your a slave to an ungrateful, nuisance shitbeast that only "likes" you because you feed it. Such a great friend.
