Yes, that's the whole point. It's dumb to allow people to own dangerous animals. Same reason we don't let people keep hyenas in their backyard.

So does this apply only to pittbulls or does it apply to rottweilers, dobermans, huskies, chows, presa canario, bull mastiffs, dalmations, german shepherds, malanois, labs, and any other breed that is large enough to hurt you and also "known" to be aggressive (as in "some people have bred some of them to be fighting, security, or police dogs sometimes, or some have been reported for biting when small dogs wouldn't be")?

Yes. 100 percent, absolutely, no doubts, yes. If your dog is over (a very arbitrary, but we can drop it lower) 1 stone (for the brits), 20 lbs (for the amerikkans), or 8 kilos (for the ~~euros~~ intelligent worlders), you should have to have a significant insurance policy on the dog (I think my local authority sets the 'dangerous dog' minimum at $100 grand), a license that can only be obtained with at least 6 months training, and a yearly inspection of your facilities and the dog.

Reasoning: I've had to patch up, or take the parts with us, too many folks who have been bit.
