@27 how would you do that?
Would the dog police walk around weighing people's dogs? It's just beyond unrealistic, dogs are nature. It's naive to think you can control it. Like I said earlier, it'll only be used to punish poor people.

@25 'rigor of that site is'. Boy autocorrect gnarled that one.

@21 another person I respect on Slog is quoting dogsbite. Seriously ask any one in the field of animal behavior's opinion on that site. It's someone's opinion backed up by cherries picked by that same person than referenced by that person.
The academic rigor out into it is akin to NOM, Stormfront, etc.
I'm not saying one cannot have opinions, I'm simply saying one shouldn't use those as facts, it's degrading to those who spend their life researching, double checking that research so that we can have a better sense of truth.
I would imagine 90 percent of dog bites go unreported. Who is getting reported a poor person with their poor person dog (aka a pit mix).

@6 Rob! I always respect what you add to Slog, but I gotta tell you that site is full on bunk. No person who specializes in animal behavior would give it a tumbs up. Check the footnotes, half of them either refer to other articles written by the same author. It's like SEO for 'truthiness'.
@11 that'd be impossible to enforce and would mostly end up targeting the poor. If you want an example of such laws in action see pot and alcohol. But mostly your comment just adds to Bailo's fire. Don't. He's whiny and paranoid enough.
@12 I would imagine that was when SF was still grimy. The weird thing is people for the most part have gotten a lot better at raising dogs and there's a lot less dog attacks.
Dog attacks were so common that a lot of our idioms are shaped around the idea. It's important to remember it wasn't until the 90s the standard MO of raising a dog was discipline, beating if needed. Now we've come to learn that beating a dog even just lightly hitting them while house breaking (idiom of violence!) will lead to a more aggressive dog.
Basically, we know people shouldn't beat their kids, same applies to dogs. And shunning something that scares you is silly especially considering it's a flexible and changing thing. That's if you want to be thoughtful. Otherwise carry on!

@10 you can always tell someone is poor and ill informed when they think teachers are paid too much. Please Mr G, share some facts as how teachers' salaries are the problem.

@7 there was this guy named Mister G, who also firmly believed in throwing the baby out with the bath water. He really had everything figured out. Did you know we could fix all our problems if we taxed bicycles, bet you didn't! The ever powerful green lobby stopped that.

Poor people are out in places where police are, if your mutt happens to be over 20 pounds or is on Ted's List of Bad Dogs, they have a much higher chance of being busted by the police.
As I said in my earlier comment, your policy would be no different than our current drinking in public laws.
A rich dude could walk his dog in his copless neighbor, poor dude, not so much.
