2.They grow their power. Pitbulls today, Rotts, Dobermanns, German Shepherds tomorrow. Then it's hunting dogs (because hunting is evil). Then it's all pet dogs (because owning animals is immoral).
Every problem doesn't require legislation to solve. More often than not, the legislation just creates new problems.


Well then, how about the power for us to take them out on sight?

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
