<p>The Government considers that the general prohibition on certain types of dog bred
for fighting, or that share the characteristics of dogs bred for fighting, should
remain in place. Evidence shows that pitbull type dogs are responsible for a disproportionate
number of attacks on people and fatalities, and should not be kept without individual
dogs being subject to a public safety test including that the owner is a fit and proper
person. We have not seen any evidence that shows removing the general prohibition
would reduce the number of dog attacks.</p>
