No shit…
Because breed specific banning doesn’t work.
Problematic owners will just go back to dobermans, or one of the shit ton of speciality breeds with an even stronger bite.
I’ll never understand why so many people fall for breed specific bans when the Venn diagram with racists’ arguments are a single circle.
Anyone who wants an animal as a pet that is more of handful than a goldfish, hamster, or rabbit needs to pay for a license to own it.
I have known too many people that own a dog(s) that they can’t take care of properly due to work or other life circumstances.
The fee will go to the local authority to offset the cleaning of dog shit they have to do. The fines still remain in place.
I’m trying to think of other irresponsible actions from other types of pet owners, but I can’t think of any.
Please comment below or I ammend my proposal to being dog-owners only.

Cats kill wildlife and leave their mess in other people’s gardens. Their owners should also be held responsible for any damage their cat does and made to keep their pet on their own property.
Cats have the right to roam, whereas dogs don’t. The law treats cats in a weird way that doesn’t apply to dogs.
This, speaking as a dog owner. Also I get annoyed a lot at seeing dog shit everywhere, so I get it.
Cats are also annoying, in so far they’re held to a different standard, but what are you gonna do? 🤷♂️
Edit: tbh, as often the issue is inconsiderate people.
I don’t see why they should though. A person destroying a bird’s nest will be charged with a crime, but you can get your cat to do it with zero consequences. Cats don’t need to roam, as anyone with a house cat will tell you. Catios are also a thing that gives cats outside access without being a menace to wildlife and a nuisance to neighbours.
Its almost like the issue was bad training and shitty owners the entire time
Sounds like there’s potential for even more political gains from even more political theater, then?
And the streets are still littered with disposable vapes even though they’re apparently banned.
Try banning the rest of the pitbull breeds.
They banned one of four major pitbull variations, they just went out and got antoehr pitbull breed.
Breed legislation does work, but not with loopholes. Ban the rest of the most dangerous dogs, with the worst bite, that also has the most dog-on-dog attacks, dog-on-horse attacks, and dog-on-cattle attacks.
