a) someone with lots of money can, for arguments sake, own 5 pitbulls and paying that money without blinking an eye. They can also buy the insurance without a second thought. If those dogs escape (like they do from time to time) and maul or kill someone’s child, the insurance accept the liability and the owner has complied with the law. What now. If that was your child or grandchield that was mauled, deformed or dead , would you be okay with it.

Walton Brown, for f’s sake, move on to more pressing problems. If someone is a dog lover, they can love another breed. If not , move overseas, or get over it. I love Lamborghinis and shooting guns and would love to have one. However, I understand why it is a bad idea to allow the public easy access to these items just because they want them. I also understand that I can’t always get things my way and I adapt.

Mr. Brown, if you believe that we should all get what we want and all dog breeds are safe, will you also be willing to be held responsible if someone in my family is attacked by one of these breeds. I have stiches and so does my cousin from a brutal and unprovoked attack. I have healed and moved on but my cousin relives that attack and nightmare every time she sees a pit-bull.

Mr. Brown, sometimes it is better to be unpopular and know that you did the right thing for the country, than it is to be adored by your voters because you gave them everything they wanted, even though it was not in the best interest of the people.
