Dog attacks are still rising - even after the XL bully ban

  No shit…

  Because breed specific banning doesn’t work.

  Problematic owners will just go back to dobermans, or one of the shit ton of speciality breeds with an even stronger bite.

  I’ll never understand why so many people fall for breed specific bans when the Venn diagram with racists’ arguments are a single circle.

    Anyone who wants an animal as a pet that is more of handful than a goldfish, hamster, or rabbit needs to pay for a license to own it.

    I have known too many people that own a dog(s) that they can’t take care of properly due to work or other life circumstances.

    The fee will go to the local authority to offset the cleaning of dog shit they have to do. The fines still remain in place.

    I’m trying to think of other irresponsible actions from other types of pet owners, but I can’t think of any.

    Please comment below or I ammend my proposal to being dog-owners only.

      Cats kill wildlife and leave their mess in other people’s gardens. Their owners should also be held responsible for any damage their can does and made to keep their pet on their own property.

  Try banning the rest of the pitbull breeds.

  They banned one of four major pitbull variations, they just went out and got antoehr pitbull breed.

  Breed legislation does work, but not with loopholes. Ban the rest of the most dangerous dogs, with the worst bite, that also has the most dog-on-dog attacks, dog-on-horse attacks, and dog-on-cattle attacks.

  Sounds like there’s potential for even more political gains from more political theater, then?

  And the streets are still littered with disposable vapes even though they’re apparently banned.
