minus-squareTragicNotCute@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoCan you cite the sources for your claim that an outright ban shifts the numbers to a different breed?

minus-squareJerkface (any/all)@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoYou seem to be implying bans would be futile if the intention is to reduce attacks because other breeds will simply start attacking more.
