If i had the power I'd bring in huge changes to dog ownership right across the board. Licences, no dogs off leads in public parks, caught walking a dog without having shitbags on your person = massive fine, caught not picking up s**t after your dog, even bigger fine or dog confiscated. Some dog owners are the absolute pits, and not just those who own those monstrosities in the photo above.

It seems that if it’s somewhere mot immediately visible people think it’s ok to not pick it up. But he’ll sniff it out, find it and try to munch it wherever it is cos he’s that age where everything goes into his gob. Dirty bastards they are.
To stay in topic, the controls on owners you’ve described will be far more effective in controlling dangerous dogs than banning specific breeds, which is a waste of time, proven to be ineffective and impossible to police, more so in the case of breeds like this one which are almost impossible to identify definitively. It’s why the Dangerous Dogs Act is renowned for being one of the worst pieces of legislation ever enacted.
