Banned dogs

So, the government's list of banned dogs was recently brought to my attention...
I knew there were banned dogs in the UK, but I wasn't sure which ones.
Here's the link.
So, do you agree that these breeds should be banned?
Any others you'd add to the list, and why?
Finally, can you identify the breeds of these banned dogs in the pics?

Agreed
About time it was scrapped.
I would love a Dogo Argentino.
That's the one I forgot to add a pic for!
Why do you think it was rushed through?
Theres bad people in the world, so would we start banning people? Like for example there are loads of men that are paedophiles (I know there's females too) so just because there are men like that out there, does that mean all men will be banned?
Sorry for going all ranty but it just really makes me angry

There were a couple of bad dog attacks at the time and the kneejerk reaction was to ban these breeds.
There's very little evidence that breed has much of an effect on aggression. How a dog is trained and raised has far more effect on temperament.

I'm not sure I'm totally in favour of it, much like I think we've gone to far on banning firearms, but there's little doubt there was massive public support and in a democracy politicians need to take account of that
I also think showing pictures of cute looking dogs is as much emotional blackmail as posting pictures of five year olds with their faces torn of

The ultimate aim of the legislation was to curb dog attacks. Dog attacks have increased. How is that not a failure?
The law was rushed in due to irresponsible media coverage. It wasn't well thought through. The RSPCA thinks its bullshit, Vetenarians think its bullshit.
And emotional blackmail? What a strange thing to say. Theyre just standard pictures of dogs, not especially cute?
