Exotic animal licenses already exist so applying them to pits and rotties would not create another layer of bureaucracy. It would require an interest in reducing fatalities and maimings.
“Exotic animal licenses already exist so applying them to pits and rotties would not create another layer of bureaucracy.”
Due to the sheer numbers of pits compared to authentically exotic animals, it would at the very least require a large expansion of that bureaucracy, which would require more revenue to run, which would require more taxes/fees to fund.
Also, the idea of applying “exotic” animal licenses to an animal that is anything but exotic in the United States smacks of cognitive dissonance to me.
