Ive been saying this for years........ a teenager can legally drive a Ferrari around inner city streets possibly causing carnage as he go,s but he is made to pay through the teeth insurance wise for being an obvious risk to society in general........that same teenager can legally own the most dangerous dog he can find with absolutely no dent to his pocket at all.
Personally id like to see it taken even further and have restrictions on breeds half the breeds around today are pointless,a dog should be a help and a companion if its just a pet/companion it doesnt need to have many of the traits
