<"What was I reading into something?">

Under the state's Health and Safety Code, a dog is considered dangerous when it causes bodily injury to a person in an unprovoked attack and causes a person to believe that it will attack and cause bodily injury.

How do you get from this law that people are now going to go out and have every dog put down that they spot? The law has apparently been on the books at the state level for some time now. Do you have information that dogs are being needlessly put down due to a combination of this law and people's irrational fears of dogs?

I already stated to you I do realize apparently you have to have BOTH an unprovoked attack AND "causes person to believe it WILL attack...."


I'm just stating if that last phrase becomes a sole requirement, it would be very dangerous, because of all the bad perceptions people have.
