Licenses
Maybe there should just be licenses (expensive) required for "dangerous" dog breeds, and the government and neighbors would have a recourse if someone has a potentially dangerous dog (revoke license of an actual dangerous dog, arrest owners of unlicensed dogs). Even more expensive licences required to breed them. Anyone with such a dog and no license would be charged with a felony. Then those that know how to breed and raise these dogs safely could do so, and maybe this dogfighting nonsense would end. If you are poor and can't afford the license, too bad. there is no inalienable right to your choice of dog breed. There are other dogs. Obviously guns require "licensing", and criminals still use them for crimes. But dogs are harder to conceal than a gun. But maybe these losers would just start cockfights if you take their dogs away . . .
