No one needs any dog, unless its a specially trained service dog, in their house with children either.
No child should to die because some creep gets their jollies by feeding their dog cute ground up cows, lambs, pigs and chicken in kibble form, or that barbaric raw diet I’ve been hearing about!
How many kids do you think should die for this vice?

Maybe they should have a basic IQ test for prospective owners. If they have butt tattoos they could require carrying extra insurance and taking a training course which covers the dangers to small children. Here's the thing though - if they allow your toothless multi-tattooed neighbors to own vicious attack breeds or strange deadly, smelly critters shipped in from Africa and South America by circus people, they better let you own firearms.
