I thought this was Canada? not Nazi Germany!

Were the children in the snow pile hurt? If not, what is your beef? Dogs should not be allowed to jump on people but if no one gets hurt what is the big deal? We allow children to do way worse crap and dismiss it with a chuckle and a "kids will be kids" and children should at least have more sense than a dog. As far as what you say about the term "pit bull", using the term "race" is used as a means of classifying specific ethnic groups or crosses of those but it is still not the correct term and ignorant to use. Just because some people use a word to classify things erroneously doesn't make it right. As far as the Dog Whisperer, he may have knowledge in training dogs but I see nothing in his CV that qualifies him as a dog breed expert so who gives a rat's arse what he calls the dogs?

Do a simple, cheap genetic test and forget the huge lawyers fees. It sucks that good dogs get killed just because they are pit bulls, but you can't simply blame the government for this. Irresponsible and undesirable pet owners seem to flock to these dogs. And owners of these dogs don't do themselves justice by allowing them to roam free in public parks without muzzles. Justified or not, these dogs make people nervous. The last time I was in Eglinton Park there were 3 pit bulls off-leash and unmuzzled. One of them ran onto the snow pile that numerous children were playing on. I'm tired of having large dogs of all breeds running up and jumping on my child in parks NOT designated as off-leash parks. Maybe the DOLA law sucks, but so do lots of dog owners out there. And for the love of God, please stop obsessing about the fact that a pit bull is not a breed. It's a means of classifying three specific breeds and crosses of those three. We get it. Talk to the dog whisperer who loves and owns many pit bulls and identifies them as such.
