Alright let's say for argument's sake you're right. There's a breed of dog that needs extinction because it's violent and always in trouble....now let's look at crime rates shall we? We'll notice that violent crimes are MAINLY committed by certain "breeds" of people, I mean obviously they aren't at fault, they were BRED to be that way. But we must, for the safety of the many, do away with these dangerous breeds of people. Do you see where that is leading? See the road that goes down?

There are GREAT dogs who just happen to be a breed that is considered (rightly or wrongly) dangerous. While I don't put 100% of the blame/responsibility of what that dog does or does not do on the owner a good 90% (at least) is on the owner. Some dogs, like some humans, are unable to function in a safe, reasonable, manageable way and for those I understand they either have to be sent away or put down but to just wipe out entire breeds is irresponsible and unnecessary. Because first it'll start with the pure breds, then it'll be half breeds, then mixes, and then what you take the next worst breeds and kill them off? Also yes some dogs NEED to be mean! Some dogs guard important things and that is their fucking job.

My neighbor wouldn't have a grizzly or a tiger because I live in a condo. But to address your point, that wouldn't happen unless I'm in the middle of the country where there are no Homeowners' Associations, City Ordinances, and so on....and if that was the case sure I'd be fine with it so long as I knew the owner and was cool with how the animal was kept and handled. Is that an irresponsible stance?

I don't have children of my own, I do have a dog and I have some young nieces. I care about my dog, I care about my nieces and yeah if any of the lot of them did something fucked up while under my care I would be held legally responsible for their actions and I understand and am ok with that because personal responsibility is important to the way I want to live.

I will state this, my dog has bitten and snapped at a fair amount of people (maybe 4 over the course of my dog's 10 years) and that is on me even though 100% of the people bitten or snapped at approached my dog in a manner that would incite a defensive snap. It is my job as owner to warn or make known the tendencies of my dog to my guests and company and even in doing so I stand responsible for the result of any injuries or damage sustained from individuals who came into contact with my dog in an improper manner.
