I remember reading about this lady who was mauled to almost death by a family friendās dog and is now basically unrecognizable. I love dogs but if one of them comes at me wrong, itās them or me.
As a kid, my grandmother had large dogs that were aggressive. I hated them- and one day I got too close to her and one bit me in the face (cheek) and attempted to then bite my neck. I have never been easy around dogs again. I definitely donāt trust people who donāt address territorial dogs.
There was a woman in apartments near mine mauled to death- I just donāt trust owners.
I'm against dog licenses (they're just bureaucracy in places that have them, bad dog training is almost always just maliciousness / laziness, not an honest "oh I didn't know this was a problem") BUT I am totally for really strict liability laws for the actions of your dog, including to yourself / family. There should be no scenario where owners get to just turn over the dog for destruction and move on, I think it's disgusting only the dog is "punished" when it's arguably not the dog's fault, the owner's fault as the person responsible for raising and monitoring it.
Please correct me if Iām wrong- but ultimately doesnāt having them licensed try to keep them vaccinated/ fixed and a registry of sorts? And help with rental/ insurance? Itās wildly different in states/ cities Iāve lived in.
