Minnesota Representative John Lesch, DFL-St. Paul, is planning to introduce a bill that, if enacted into law, would ban certain breeds of dogs, including Akita, pit bull, Rottweiler, wolf hybrid and chowchow. Other state and local governments throughout the U.S. have enacted laws banning certain breeds.

Even though one could argue that dog bite accidents are the fault of the owners and not the breeds, the reality is that banning these breeds—particularly pit bulls and Rottweilers—would most likely eliminate most of the serious dog bite injuries in Minnesota.
