Well, I do believe that people are capable of rehabilitation, so I don't feel that bc they have a criminal record that we can make generalizations about them like above. Also, assuming some people may not obey a law (ie, leash or whatever) -- this then means we should move forward to *discriminate* against a breed?
And, bc rural areas have less animal control - again - that means the answer is Breed legislation? I don't see how this is the answer....
When we discriminate against ONE breed, we discriminate against ALL breeds, in my opinion. First, Pits, then, Rotts, Labs, Malamutes....then, what, eventually, Yorkies?
What happens then?
