Free roaming dogs are already outlawed. Dogs still get loose.

When there is a chance vicious dogs will get loose like this they should be banned

Guns are required to be safely contained
yet some people do not act responsibly
and the guns fall into the wrong hands.
Should we therefore ban guns?

All dogs are potentially viscious.
The vast majority of dogs of every breed go through their lives without being viscious.
A responsible owner of any breed must take care to be aware of any circumstances that might lead to agressive behavior.
Any dog bite is a serious matter.
A small dog is quite capable of causing a disfiguring or nerve-damaging injury.
Medium and large dog owners have even more responsiblity.
Their dogs can potentially inflict larger injuries.

The dogs of this article have acted in a viscious matter and it's obvious they need to be put down.
To call for a breed ban based on this article is not justified.
You'll notice the article states they are described as a "pit-bull rottweiler mixed breeds".
To me that sounds close to a 'We don't know what the heck they are' description.
Again hardly enough on which to base a call for a breed ban.

Let's go after the criminals.
(Letting your dogs run loose should be consider criminal behavior).
~ I was intending to write here how almost all cases like this
are presaged by previous delinquent behavior on the owners part
that the authorities should have treated with greater seriousness.
But I see now in a second open window that post#39 confirms my suspicion.~
