State of Oregon, just do something

Dear State Of Oregon:

Another Pit Bull attack in the news. Is it the dogs fault, the owners, the breeders or the breed? I am not sure and I really don't care.

Owners of aggressive breeds need to be responsible and if they will not, we need to mandate changes. Here are a few options, pick at least one or two or add some of your own. Please do something.

Mandatory owners liability insurance
Aggression testing
Mandatory owner and dog training
Stronger leash and fence laws
Microchip all dogs and track ownership
Breeder tracking and licensing
Increased county license fees where the more aggressive the breed the higher the license.
Fines or jail time for owners who don't control their dogs.
Only 1 aggressive dog per family
