That's a really good idea but how would the city or county know whether a purchaser of one of these dogs ever bought insurance? There would have to be an agency in each city and county to try to oversee and police sales. Would it rely on voluntary reporting by the breeder each time they sold a pit? Or the purhaser? And then if they didn't have the insurance, after an attack, somebody's got to prosecute for that and that takes a dedicated arm of some agency and tax $. I wish there were something we could do that would not involve the government, but there really isn't. And the victims will keep on adding up. I tell you that poor little girl I saw on the news a while back that was having her 57th surgery after her pit mauling was so sad and awful. That poor little thing is in terrible shape after all that pain and time and medical costs in the hundreds of thousands probably. She is missing a huge portion of her scalp, her face is still so scared and disfigured and her eye and so much else is wrong from all that dog did to her. So, so sad and you get so mad you just want to go out and shake some of those owners when you see them letting their big powerful dog out of the car totally off leash. But everybody thinks their dog won't hurt anyone.
