We need legislation brought in that makes ALL dog owners accountable for their dogs actions regardless of breed.
All dogs in the wrong hands have the potential to be dangerous,regardless of breed.

As for muzzling in public,I don't believe in it.There will always be an irresponsible moron who doesn't play by the rules.A dog can't defend itself wearing a muzzle.
but why does a dog as fierce as lets say rottie need to defend himself in a public place ! thats a silly statement if you ask me ! any dog breed thats been known to be fierce toward people should be muzzeled by law !
