PETA is obsessed to the point they can't see the trees from the forest. The owners of these animals are blinded by their emotions. These beasts are dangerous and unpredictable! Licensing of animals needs some attention from the "wannabe President Legislators who are off trying to set foreign policy....Sorry, I digress.
It seems to be something in the Bay Area culture that causes "people" to think they can and should breed especially vicious, uncontrollable, and destructive dogs.
