I too do not like any more regulations, but...

Regardless of Breed, anyone who would allow their animals to run loose and cause damage property or person, should be held responsible for their actions.

I've owned Pitties, and they were sweet as sugar, but, those and other Breeds which have the ability to do real damage if aggressive, should not be blamed on the animal, but the person who trained/raised them.

But, fairness would demand that IF you "required" Microchipping, that you do it for ALL breeds. I think it will eventually be where each Dog gets a Serial Number, and you/whoever get the Deed assigned to you.

That's the ONLY way that we're going to get control of the Owners.

PS:
Ok, I understand that Dogs are sold and given away. BUT, if that Dog hurts someone, and the original Owner has to pay for it, THEN we'll start seeing a viable ownership paperwork trail, and the responsible persons will be prosecuted. That's my whole point here, if someone lets something happen, they pay !
