Can't we just enforce leash laws?
Rather than having police raid your neighborhood to take away your neighbor's family dog to euthanize it because you are scared of the breed, can't we just enforce the leash laws that exist in nearly every community? Heck, add muzzling laws across the board if you are still worried. I'd like to see the nasty Lhasa Apso in my apartment complex muzzled, since it tries to attack my beagle every time we meet it on a walk. However, it's owner keeps it on a leash, so we just pull them apart and continue on our way--no harm, no foul. Why would people prefer to see other's pets killed than to be serious about requiring owners to responsibly restrain and handle their dogs in public?
