stupid pit bulls

I always hear "it's not the dogs, it's the owners" as a rationalization for having pit bulls, but the whole "don't ban pit bulls, ban bad owners" argument is moot when you note that you cannot ban owners without banning pit bulls. 

I'd ban other dogs from stupid owners, but basically, there are only a couple of breeds that when owned stupidly have the ability to kill people.  Pets that can kill are a stupid thing to have, and sadly, they rarely kill the stupid owner.  It's always some random person who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You may not be able to ban stupid people from having the dogs, but you could hold them more accountable for the harm a poorly raised dog causes.

Was that the pit bull or the typical scum shite that deserves shooting on sight?

I would like to see that happen.  Last year here a pit bull that was leashed attacked a woman walking down the street and nearly ripped her arm off, tearing half the flesh off her ribcage.  The owner was hit with a $300 fine.  The woman will have years of surgeries and physical therapy and will never fully recover.  The only reason she survived is that some guy stopped his car and beat the dog with a bat.

I love hearing people say "I keep my pit bull on a leash!"  Like anyone short of the WWE champion could control an enraged pitbull on a leash.

BobA:
There is always civil court to make the owner more accountable.  Maybe a huge law suit is required to help pay for the injuries caused by stupid people with uncontrolled dogs.
