    Not everyone likes dogs and people need to realize this. I work pest control and am always going into peoples back yards and I come across alot of dogs and I think its incredibly inconsiderate to not lock your dog up while you have a service done. I dont care if its being protective or it just does not know you thats how people get bit and it only takes once. At my old neighborhood I could not run around the block without more then one dog come flying out from someones house and barking and growling at me. Im seriously thinking about carrying pepper spray. Most of these "dangerous" breeds are protective by nature so unless your growing pot or trying to protect something valuable whats the point of having such a risk? Unless your a hermit and live way up in nowhere keep your dog locked up.
    and people say reptile owners are carless.
    Sorry, end rant. I do understand that there are responsible people out there but to me there are far to many morons out there.
    I say make there ALOT of rules on these dogs when it comes to locking them up or always on a leash.
    Of course dogs can be dangerous. They're descended from wolves, which are the apex predator in their natural environment. We haven't devolved them THAT much.

    I also agree that dogs should be kept on a leash, or in a fence, etc etc. Not only does it prevent attacks, but it can save the dog's live because THEY can't be attacked or hit by a car.

    However, the point of this thread is that one breed isn't necessarily more dangerous than another. Laws confining dogs to leashes or fences is fine and logical, but banning an entire breed is not. True, pit and rotti attacks tend to be pretty bad, but there was a labrador retriever (a well-loved family breed, I'm sure you know) that tore a woman's face up in Germany, and there are accounts of people being killed by Yorkshire terriers, Pomeranians, and dachsunds. I don't see any breed bans on those four. Dog confiscations should be limited to dogs that are ACTUALLY a problem.
