This is one way to get dog owners more responsible

"This is Florida. We value our rights. Animal care and control should be abolished. Dogs run loose all the time in similar areas like Mexico and South America. People seldom get hurt by them, and they eventually find their way back to their owner. Animal care and control is just another money making scheme by liberals who are trying to control us through the pocket book. Let's all stand up and tell them who we are and what they can do with their fines and government intrusion in Florida."
This is a comment from the article. Guess this person should move to Mexico or SA then.

People please! Spay/neuter your dogs, fence them in a yard(preferable they are in the house) and if for what ever reason you can no longer care for them, turn them in to a shelter.

People should not tolerate...

April 11, 1:22 p.m.: Three dogs of unknown breed were off their leashes and attacked a German shorthaired pointer. The pointer sustained bites to the neck, leg and chest. The owner of the pointer said that there had been previous issues with the three dogs.
People should not tolerate dogs being loose and attacking other dogs-inflicting serious injury/death. If you're going to tolerate the dogs being loose, the owners aren't going to care about being responsible. In most places there's not enough taxpayer money to support controlling these bad owners. So, sorry for the dogs, my my dogs life overrules yours.

While still including language in the article per the unwritten requirement for anything pro pit, at least this writer is not just saying, "blame the owners" and in fact offering ideas which is good.
However, to me and due to the genetic makeup of Pitbulls(sorry guys, but a dog genetically dog aggressive has a higher likelihood of turning that aggression on a human IMO) in absence of a ban, I think the average person should encounter a Pitbull to the same frequency you would encounter a Dogue de Bordeaux...not very often.

When my dad was in hospice, I brought our Mastiff's to see him. The dogs also spent time while we were there with other residents. I was asked to bring our dogs back as many of the residents enjoyed them. Now that didn't make them therapy dogs. In this setting they were calm and relaxed. That doesn't mean the same thing would happen in another setting. To me a true therapy, service dog or what have you, are selected based upon not only unique abilities in the dog but also their ability to ignore outside stimuli that another dog may react to. So only the select few qualify. The odds of you just happening to be an owner of one? Small-kinda compared to winning the Lotto.
