No, I’m thinking that we should get medieval on the heinies of anyone involved in anything to do with dogfighting, and charge owners of dogs that harm/kill humans with felony assault and/or manslaughter.
We’d have a lot fewer of these attacks.

Over the years, we’ve had several people with pit bulls move in on my my street. Always renters. Always driving POS cars. They double-park, have the burn-out contests in the street, build a living room in their garage, shoot off fireworks for every possible holiday, get a lot of cop visits, etc. This isn’t a scientific study. Just my personal observation over the past 20 years.
And their dogs have killed other dogs, cats, threatened pedestrians and cyclists.
The pit bull attacks I hear of near DFW are always in predominately black or Mexican areas of town. The last dog attack I saw on the news in Dallas, the PD and AC went in and euthanized every dog that was on the street (something like a dozen dogs). This was in South Dallas.
I live in the sticks/small town and there are a lot of pitbull types and crosses (I have one). Yes, my county is predominately anglo/saxon/white. Only dogs doing the biting around here are Chihuahuas.
It had to be mentioned; these dog attacks are mostly in the ghetto/barrio. I know that makes me sound racist, but it is what I have seen/heard on the local news. And it is true.
Which is the only thing some folks understand.
