In both instances, responsible owners of objects/life forms that were not guilty or caused anything are the eventual victims of the “solutions” proposed by hand wringing busybodies to solve problems caused by irresponsible idiots.
What we really need here for a proper crusade filled with legislative passion is to collect all the fatalities from dog bites, bucket drownings, self inflicted fork wounds, Slinky entanglements, and as many other low probability means of shuffling off this mortal coil as we can gather and pass a comprehensive ban on statistically insignificant causes of death.
It is not statistically insignificant to those that were killed. Ebola deaths are also "insignificant causes of death", but that does not mean adequate precaution should not be taken.
