“Well, thanks for trying to help me decide which risks are worthwhile and which are not, but I’d rather take care of it myself. :-)”
I’m not sold on the goverment deciding. I am sold on the fact that owners of potentially dangerous animals should have to shoulder heavy criminal and financial liability if their precious little bred to kill dog goes off. I’m also quite happy with allowing animal personnel to kill one of these animals the second they show the slightest bit of aggressiveness. Or when it comes to allowing any neighbor to blow one of these creatures away the second it enters his property.
My problem is with those who would like to see the feds come into my house and take away my dog because he may or may not look like a pit pit bull to some limp-wristed, panty-waist animal control officer.
