"We need a stronger law, like the city has where they can demand the owner of a dangerous dog have a $100,000 bond," Head said.
New laws aren't needed to deal with this tragic event and a bond wouldn't have helped Ms. Lowe.
I'm still in the camp that holds bad owners raise bad dogs and that pit bulls aren't inherently vicious. Training and breeding for aggression are behind attacks like these.

Notice that the media seems to focus on this breed a lot. Fact of the matter is that any animal can become aggresive at the right moment. Much of the time it is training to be aggressive, but sometimes these things can happen for reasons that have nothing to do with breed or training. Often it is just a little too much play (overstimulation) or, as the article said, one of the dogs was in heat. And while the owner of these dogs claims they were not aggressive, they are some reports to the contrary.
Even my sweet white cat can sometimes bite. We have to remember that for all the domestication, our pets are still wild animals in some way, shape or form.
And ah'm sure u wood be thankin' that, raht up tu da time when ur pit bulls baht a plug outta ur head.
