Ban PitBulls

Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.

Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.

Norway prohibiting the breed is another reason why pitbull bans are smart.

Seems disingenuous to show Canada and the US as solid orange when they vary by state/province. It sounds like there's not a single state in the US that completely bans them. Generally bans are at the local level.
