I know...let's blame the breed of dog...let's ban anything bigger than a poodle.
While we're at it let's ban alcohol, tobacco, high powered cars, gangs, rugby, coffee...
OR, maybe we could target the causes of harm...poverty, ignorance,
Oh...but that wouldn't be politically popular would it.
Hell, I might go and bight someone I'm so angry!

did you read the article, Jake? It said the new rules will target cross-breeds. NZ already bans import of several breeds of dogs, classifying them as "dangerous"
