Actually, that law does not go quite far enough. We had any common sense in this country, aggressive dogs, especially ones that are prone to violence, would be automatically be put down......no muzzle, no pen, nothing. This, with punative fines and jail time for the owners.

Until we do this, the cases of pit bulls mauling and killing people will go on. Until that time, people have to defend themselves against these monsters that are coddled by their lobotomized owners.

You still haven't answered teh question someone put to you.
How do you come to the conclusion that the owner of the dog and his family returning from vacation are THUGS?

Sounds to me like you have a prejudice here.
Trade in your screen-name. You obviously have no brain.
