Once folks have to serve time for manslaughter - say mandatory 2 years w/out parole, cannot keep a pet over 15 lbs. for the next 10 years(will help keep children and small dog victims safe) and then serve a lengthy probation, I think we'll see less people keeping these dangerous breeds. I think they should include all breeds in the legislation but it will mostly affect the dogs bred for pit fighting/killing whose littermates are sold to the public at large.

Am praying for this poor woman's family.
That's a really good idea, and punishment can be an effective deterrent sometimes. However, most people don't think they'll ever get caught, and I wish there was more we could do to prevent these attacks.
