I agree UConn. I was walking my Shih Tsu with my 6 year old twin daughters on a leash down our street, when a lady about 55 years old is walking a pit bull. As dogs do, they sniff butts and do their thing. Well this monster went insane and chomped on my dogs head, causing his eye to pop out. I had to jump in the middle and break it up. The pit bull's owner was worthless as this beast was out of control. Well, to make a long story short, my dog lost his eye, my girls were freaking out, and the lady's husband had the audacity to say it was a dog fight and would only pay half the medical bills. I didn't have the energy to fight him, as he is quite prominent.
The town and Animal control were worthless, due to a lack of laws on the books.
There needs to be some restrictive licensing of these bully breeds. It is out of control.
Btw, I live in an upper middle class neighborhood, so this isn't a socio-economic issue.
