“Vicious dogs under control”
Irony! The “vicious” trait is what makes them uncontrollable — they are bred to be vicious.
“The “vicious” trait is what makes them uncontrollable — they are bred to be vicious.”
I’m at the point where the government needs to either license these *owners* as demonstrating dog-handling skills, and insurance, and special housing, and criminal penalties for allowing them to ever be not under control...
Or
Outlaw this breed, as NZ and others have done.
Most dog owners never train their dogs and are controlled by their dogs, etc. Add a powerful, temperamental dog, and the outcome seems certain.
My dog is trained and I’m in charge. I carry law enforcement strength mace and a tactical folding knife when I walk him because of other dogs.
