Those sort of regulations would certainly see a big reduction in unsuitable people owning, and/or breeding many of those types of dogs.
Three, four or 5 grand sounds a bit high, but yeah, same principal as high powered sports type cars I suppose.
And yes, I suppose people will say 'it's not just those breeds of dog that attack'. BUT, it is all those breeds of dog and some other large, powerful breeds as well, that have the capability to, and do, actually kill people.
Good post jukel ?
