“This heartbreaking incident underscores the critical importance of responsible pet ownership, proper containment, and socialization of dogs to prevent tragedies.”

Owning dangerous breeds is not responsible. Socialization is not a solution for these animals. Dogs are notorious for escaping containment - 'proper containment' doesn't exist.

Exactly. They’re talking about putting band-aids over an open wound here; the only way to actually prevent tragedies like this is to STOP buying (and breeding) these mutants.

Indeed, responsible people do not own these things. Bringing any large dog into a suburb is per se irresponsible.

Absolutely. Beasts that are capable of this shouldn’t be allowed in our communities. They are simply too dangerous.
