Should Dangerous Dogs Be Banned?


Anyone else think Rottweilers should be outlawed?
It doesn’t seem like a month goes by in this country before you read yet another story about some baby or toddler or elderly person being mauled and seriously injured or killed by a rottweiler or a pitbull.
I’ve come to the conclusion that these breeds of dog are just a loaded weapons, waiting to go off. One day their demeanor can be pleasant, and the next, there they are, snarling and covered in human blood. It leaves me wondering why it’s legal to own them at all.
I mean, it’s kind of like living will a full-blooded wolf or a tiger or something, except that people take extra, precautionary measures when parenting exotic pets because THEY KNOW THEY ARE DANGEROUS. You wouldn’t leave a seventh month old alone in the presence of your pure-blooded timber wolf, or that tiger/cheetah/ocelot you bought off the black market, would you? Yet, with rottweilers and pitbulls, you get these owners who are just wholly convinced that their little doggy — who they raised from a pup — is this innocent little charmer. And then this happens:

Should these dogs be legal? Yes, I am sure there are rottweilers and pitbulls out there who have never hurt a fly, but how many more are just secret killers waiting on a hair trigger for something to set them off? And, of course, often as not, the person attacked isn’t even the owner — society and individuals wind up bearing the burden someone else’s poor choice in pets.
I can’t see keeping these breeds legal. They’re unpredictable and deadly, and yet we hardly bat and eye when something like this happens. Oh well… just have to keep hoping the neighbor’s dog doesn’t go rogue! Because, with these breeds, hope is pretty much all you’ve got. There is no certainty.
