Not only that, but like I said earlier...if I shoot your kid, I'm going to jail. If my Bull baiting dog rips your kid's arm off, I may be protected from criminal and civil liability by "vicious dog laws". In some states the dog has to be declared dangerous before criminal and civil penalties kick in.

That's why the dog lobby fights these laws fiercely. If certains breeds are designated as "known dangerous" or "require special handling", the liability umbrella extends to breeders and even the registering organizations pushing them on the public. They've managed to push the loving Pit Bull is everyman's dog story, keep the money rolling in and stay above the liability fray.

We've gone well past the point of expecting them to police themselves.
