I have conflicted feelings on this. I have NEVER met a well-mannered pit bull or rottweiler.. I have met over 100 of them, and all of them are owned by idiots who love the aggressive nature of the dogs. Bad people and bad dogs.
I have sat in the Emergency Room of a hospital with a 4 year old girl who had half of her face (literally) ripped off (lower jaw, cheek, partial eye socket), and had dozens of major bites on her neck and shoulder and arms. There is nothing in this world that is going to help that girl. If she had been attacked by a chihuahua, she would not have been anywhere near as damaged. Also there is a huge difference between a nip, a bite and a mauling. There should be different level of penalty for each type of "crime". If you could get a law passed that any person who's dog mauled a person: * was prosecuted for assault with a deadly weapon, manslaughter or murder, depending on the scope of the injuries * pays for all medical, counseling, and restorative surgery, and pain and suffering * Mandated that any dog that had bitten a person was, at the discretion of the victim, put down. * Mandated that the owner of any dog that had bitten a person, was not put down, and then was found loose, would be charged just as if they had placed a loaded gun on the sidewalk. Then the breed of the dog would not be an issue, and those you consider to be truly at fault would be held accountable. But without that sort of accountability for idiots, you have to do SOMETHING to prevent the attacks. Of course, it still doesn't help that girl, which will haunt me forever.
