Ocre,
What do you think about making laws that hold the owners responsible for the damage the dog does? E.G. Your son or daughter is walking by on the sidewalk, Joe Dirt's pit bull runs out and eats your child, Joe Dirt stands trial for negligent homicide with almost guaranteed conviction and prison time.
Or
Your son/daughter walks by the McYuppies and their Schauzer runs out and does it's best to eat your child, ends up ruining their socks, Kid can't stop laughing, does not ask you to press charges.
Or are you one of those guys that thinks your right to own a dangerous animal supersedes the public's right to safety, and if the public is harmed by your animal "that's just some crazy accident" that you have no liability for. It's the dog's fault, dog should be punished not you.
