This is absolutely absurd! Discrimination among dogs? What’s next, telling the people of Minnesota what animals they may and may not have as pet’s?
Why not focus your attention on animal cruelty and the sick individuals who have given these lovable dogs such a bad name? Why not ban these PEOPLE from the state instead of taking it out on innocent dogs?

I’m praying each night this law does not pass.

The ignorant people want to ban!! the ignorant people want to close their minds.. the ignorant people do not stop and even THINK!! I have had Rotts for 10 yrs now.. they are the sweetest dogs you will ever come to know.. it IS HOW THEY ARE RAISED and it is NOT the animal’s fault ..it is the idiot owner that does not give a flip how he treats the dog..i’m so mad over this!!!!!!.. and the IGNORANT people that are so ..so UHH!!! ignorant!!…I had 140 lb rottie that had bone cancer .. we had a mobile vet come to our house.. he said one thing when she came out of the house..” i don’t know why people says the bad things about these dogs” she was so gentle with him and let him do amything.. even though she was suffering so much from the bone cancer at only age 5.. i am furious that the subject about banning ANY breed would even surface!!!!O gee… should would ban FIRE because it hurts people?? it burns houses.. I just moved to this stupid state and how did this john even get into office???? I hope next election we, that own these beautiful babies, will remember his name and definitely vote him out of office!!!

if he’s gonna ban rottweilers and akitas. can we ban chihuahuas??? i’ve seen those annoying little dogs bite and bark more than i’ve ever seen a pitbull bark. COME ON NOW. let’s ban yorkshire terriers. i’ve been bite by those. LETS DO IT! yeah. right.

It’s not the breed of dogs. It’s how they are trained or treated. Dogs are aggressive because they were trained to be or have been mistreated so badly. Get real. Charge the owners for animal cruelty.

And what is the state going to do? Walk into every backyard and doggie door in MN and take a family’s dog away from them and put them down? Who even thinks of that.

John you have contradicted everything you want in the bill you are trying to pass now. You are right, now! That it is the owners fault for how the dog acts not the dog itself. But here you are saying it is the breeds fault. When i spoke with you at the capital you told me it was ridiculous to blame the dog for the their behavior and to blame the owner. First and foremost you need to figure out what you want this bill to be. You have gone from one side clear to the other.

i think that banning these breeds is the most idiotic thing in the world. These dogs have proven to be some of the most wonderful animals in the world. In fact, most dog bites have to do with labs and retrivers due to overbreeding. So insead of banning the breed, why not be more strict on who can breed these dogs and who can own them, make the people who want to buy these beautiful animals actually want them to be part of the home and not just something tied up to a cinder block outside.

The pitbull are being picked on now like the German Shepards in the 70’s the Dobermans in the 80’s the Rotts in the 90’s. now its the Pits turn i guess. I’m sure the next victims will be the Persa Canario. The people above are right it’s not the breed it’s the owners. I have an Ameriscan Staff and an American Pit, my daughter and my son refer to them as brothers and sisters. If you think a pit is dangerous, just come and try to take my dogs away i’ll show you dangerous!!!

I am so furious about all the talk on “aggressive” breeds. My little girl (2 1/2 years old) is an American Staffordshire Bull Terrior, “one of the aggressive breeds” but she is also mixed with some Whippet, and Valley Bulldog. She is the sweetest little dog on the face of the earth and it kills me when we are walking outside and she is trying to greet someone or another dog and the other person shy’s away becuase she looks like a pit bull. First, I have to say that it breaks my heart and her heart when that happens and it is caused by people like LESCH, second, I don’t belive anything Lesch says. Where does his information come from? Obviously not facts!
These so called “roving packs of pit bulls” that are attacking our children in the streets must be a figment of his imagination! I was listening to this radio talk show that was debating the ban on different breeds, they had a lady that was researching dog behaviors for several years come on and talk about her findings, according to years of documented dog injuries/deaths through hospitals and doctors, LABS are the leading breed (by far) to cause harm to children! Are they going to ban labs now too?!?
How about look at the reason why something like that happened. Most dogs will get jealous when their owners bring a child into the world (NO MATTER THE BREED) and may “turn” as some would say because they are trying to have their spot back with the owners. I think these so called aggressive breeds are poorly trained and or poorly treated by their owners.
I am so fed up, my poor little girl has a bad reputation because she looks like another kind of breed that has been picked on! I have worked very hard training my dog and no matter what, if this ban happens, I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY LITTLE GIRL!!!

this john lesch wants to shut his mouth there is nothing wrong with these dogs its the flippin owners
how would he feel if we banned him from going anywere near human kind. it has taken hundreds of years
to domesticate dogs so why should we give it up now thats what we should be asking him looking at that

i want a rottweiler and i study dogs alot and one thing ive found out is that all dogs were once wolves so just picking
out several breeds of dog and classifying them as dangerous is stupid and just to prove it i wonce new a girl who had
2 staffs who were complete angels and never harmed anyone before and somebody else had a poodle who had to be put down
because it was to vicious but it wasntthe familys falt because they got it from somebody else who treated it really badly
so basicaly all the family was trying to rescue the poor creature

ok this is not right. i usto have a rottweiler german bloodline named morgan and she was a big sweetheart! if she was out of the kennel she would give u kisses until u give in and skratch behind her ears. its not the dog thet harms, its how its traind!!! u be mean to the dog while training it the dog will be right back. people think these dogs are mean, there not. any animal or dog, they could turn on u. like i said they act the way u treat them. most of these dogs are sweet,loving, and most of part of your family.

This is unfair and unjust to these beautiful creatures who are put in the hands of irresponsible people who do not or wont take the time to educate themselves on dog owning and training. These dogs have no choice who their owner is, they are doing what their taught to do and only that. I cannot stand by and watch this happen to these animals, where are the LAWS protecting these dogs?? What happened to taking responsibility for the actions or lack of from the owner? Why do these dogs have to continue to suffer? Uneducated, lazy, trouble some, young kids make these dogs act in a aggressive way, these dogs cannot be held responsible for what they do. This is insane and we need to rally for these dogs. We need to be their voice.
