Yes, dogs really don't understand. That's why we must take pains whenever a dog kills a human to take the owner out an dexecute him immediately.

It's so rare that I can find anything in these transparent justifications for keeping pit bulls with which I can agree, but there it is.

May I prosecute the owners for letting their dogs poop on my lawn?

Well, the owners need to be punished, and we need to have vicious dog laws with teeth in them (no pun intended...well, maybe it was!). However, I'd be cautious about breed specific laws. First, do you know how many people mistake boxers for pit bulls? What about mixed breeds? It's a conundrum (and don't count on your local animal control officer to be able to tell the difference either).
Personally, the breed that scares me the most is chows. That doesn't mean I think they should be illegal.
Thank goodness I fell in love with golden retrievers and Italian spinoni.
