Any time the government punishes innocent people because of the irresponsibility of others it's dead wrong. German Shepherd? Great Dane? I have some experience with these breeds and they are not "aggressive". Protective, yes. Aggressive, no way.

My German Shepard was raised at the dog park and was fine until he reached 2 then he started being a bully - picking on the more timid dogs. He wouldn't attack them to kill them but he did break the skin of a beagle and I had him evaluated by a professional dog trainer and we agreed he was no longer a candidate for the dog park because he has a strong prey drive. He is very well trained and very gentle with kids and cats and gets along well with dogs who visit our house. So I am responsible and do not take him to the dog park and he is now in agility training. I only take my lab to the dog park now. But I did not need the government to tell me this! I'm happy to be able to do the right thing and govern myself.
