Yep, what you said. The emphasis is that innocent people on their own property or on public property were attacked and brutally maimed or killed in hundreds or thousands of incidents.
To those who are so dense that they don’t “get it”, about how wrong it is for some child to be innocently playing in their yard and some irresponsible owners dog rips its face off, I can only pray that if there MUST be another little kid victim, if the choice comes down to the innocent party’s child or the child of the irresponsible dog owner - that it will be the irresponsible owners own child that is on the receiving end rather than some innocent person. Like I said, if the scenario was you had to make a choice of one or the other.
Maybe then they will finally “get it” and finally start to believe in personal responsibility and the vengeance that is due to the innocent victims and their families.
Again - want to own killer dog breeds? Great. More power to you. Just accept the consequences that come with it if you fail to be 100% responsible 100% of the time - no excuses.
The problem is, many people want to “play” at owning dangerous attack breeds, imbibe in drugs and alcohol but not bear any responsibility or be irresponsible with their own personal finances. They want ZERO personal responsibility for anything they do in life when it comes right down to it.
Cats can inflict nasty infectious bites, however lets get real. They do not go around attacking, maiming and killing like the attack dog breeds do.
Again, I am pro-attack dog breed - only if one can handle a full on Draconian responsibility that comes with it. But if your dog unjustly kills or maims - you should be killed or maimed.
Few people truly want true personal responsibility. They only want to pretend they do or act like it until the moment of reality hits. Most people want to wiggle out of it, suddenly decide they don’t want the responsibility after all (after its too late) or make mealy mouthed excuses.
I applaud your clearly-described position for responsibility, but you know the punishment you call for will never, ever happen. Whatever the merits of your position, we're simply never going to see dog owners fed to their dogs, and so forth. So with this in mind, what is the do-able alternative to your desired punishment?
