Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.
