Right Sangress, some people treat their dogs like spoiled brats. Then they act like it. It seems so strange that anyone would want to live with an animal that doesn't have any manners and can be potentially dangerous/deadly.

Didn't know the stats, but I know that there's plenty of media coverage encouraging people to do the right thing. Not really surprising and have naturally heard the horror stories, pitbulls mauling and killing kids or old people or whomever.
It just makes me wish people would get smart.

It's not really the dogs fault, they should be kept under control by a responsible owner. people should have to pass a test to own an animal as most do not have a clue on what being a responsible owner entails.
It saddens me that so called 'devil dogs' are maligned in the press when really it's the owners who want a 'status' dog to enhance their image ..... or so they think !
This subject makes me very 'ranty' ......... as you will now realise !!

Good points shandy. If the aspca is willing to give free spay/neuters to pets adopted, why not free training vouchers or something when the dogs are the right age.

That would be an excellent idea Silvergirl, but the only problem with that is the mentality of certain owners, who are the ones where the main problems arise. They simply wouldn't take their dog for the training as they appear to enjoy having a dog that other people fear.
Responsible owners generally have well behaved animals, it's the bad owners that need to be tackled. Thou I have no idea how that could be done practically.

Simple, fine the owners, give their dogs a new home. Ban them from getting another dog until they pass a test then monitor how they care for their new dog until the lesson is well and truly learned.
Anyone who has the capacity to be responsible will have a dog after that point, the majority of the nit wits who want a dog for some superficial purpose will not even bother with it again.
