What does "without provocation" mean? Most dogs consider any movement to be provocation to chase, so I suppose the law needs to be amemded to say, "without reasonable provocation." The term reasonable will also need to be defined as it applies to dogs. Again we either run into the problem of defining what dogs find reasonable, or prosecute dog owners when their pets don't reason on a human level. Local defense attorneys must be salivating.

‘Bout to take my dogs for their morning walk and run in the fields, I expect they would be in violation of this law if we lived in Stupidville. They always chase birds, but unless I blow the winged rats out of the sky they can't catch them. Birds can fly dogs can't ya know. As for squirrels, my dogs don't climb pine tress. Very frustrating for the mutts. However, they can catch liberals so I think I'll be working on training them to do that. The day when we “start hunting politicians with dogs” is coming and I want to be ready.

I’d like to see them get the dogs to testify.
