No actually, I am one of those kids that got seriously mauled by a rottweiller when I was 10 years old (almost 100 stitches in the face). A dog I've known for 3 years prior to that accident and hung out with 50 times+. Thanks to plastic surgery, I have no visible physical scars from this event.
I also have a court case to prove this.
And you know what, these dogs had been cared for, proprely raised and had been trained. Yes my friend's family had two of them.
Also, there were absolutely no reason for the dog to bite me, again I have a court case to prove this. These dogs are just dangerous peiod. So now you have numbers + my story.
It should be considered criminally negligent to have them around kids at any time. Same goes for a loaded weapon in Canada.
Dumbing it down? Social Bandwagon? Knowledgeable dog owners? You are a moron and morons never learn. They need to be dumbed down as you so well said.
Hence, why more laws are being created everyday for people just like you.
