I suppose then that you’ll agree with the CDC when they wrote:
Additional strategies to encourage responsible pet ownership and reduce dog bites include regulatory measures (e.g., licensing, neutering, and registration programs and programs to control unrestrained animals) and legislation (7). “Dangerous” dog laws focus on dogs of any breed that have exhibited harmful behavior (e.g., unprovoked attacks on persons or animals) and place primary responsibility for a dog’s behavior on the owner. Because a dog’s tendency to bite depends on other factors in addition to genetics (e.g., medical and behavioral health, early experience, socialization and training, and victim behavior), such laws might be more effective than breed-specific legislation (7). These prevention strategies require further evaluation.
Absolutely. Let’s break it down.

Our pitbull rescue requires licensing neutering. In fact, if a new owner does not do these things we will take the dog back. Of course, we usually neuter the dogs before they are placed so half the problem is solved.

This part states what I have been saying, that breed-specific laws are not accurate because pits are not the only dogs that rip up humans unmercifully.
place primary responsibility for a dog’s behavior on the owner- Agian, I have emphasized the need for this on this thread.
