Who says castration doesn’t change behavior?

Well this seems to be a hot topic. I just can’t figure out what this law is supposed to accomplish. Steralizing an animal is not likely to change it’s behavior and make it no longer dangerious. Any breed of dog and any individual animal can in the right conditions become dangerious. The only dog bite that I have recieved was from a protective english sheepdog, not among the top ten breeds thought to be agressive. Like having everyone holding a oneway ticket in an airport take their shoes off it is a law created because someone said we must do something and since no one knew what to do the something was ineffectual and rather stupid. I think that neutering the owners would be more likely to have a positive result.

I think Herbie has a very unstable personality. I would hope they locked Herbie up for gawking as the dog ravaged the child. The government needs to get it’s nose out of everybody’s butt crack.

What we have here is more evidence that dogs are smarter than people.

You might not see things this way if you had ever been attacked by a dog. Or if you had to watch your three-year old attacked by a dog. I have done both. Hypothetical situation - you have to make a choice between the life of a dog or the life of a human. If you have to think about this you are a scary person. No, I don’t hate or fear dogs, but if the state can dictate smoking, eating, and other “protect me” laws, then why not this. I think its a good thing. Incidentally, the state already makes genetic profiles on certain groups of people.

I’ve wondred for the last few years how people are allowed to label a breed of dog as dangerous because that is their genetic profile. Yet were you to suggest such a thing about a group of people. you’ld be made to recant that view to the public as racist scum bag.
