I just think that people who routinely endanger their pets and the people around them through irresponsible pet-ownership should not be allowed to own pets. Do you disagree? If so, on what basis?
I was baffled by the jump from "tickets and license revocations" to "euthanasia or exile". Until I recognized it for what it was: an attempt to make ME into the cruel person, rather than the person who is willing to keep a dog that requires lots of space in a place that can't provide lots of space.
If it's cruel to force a dog to live in too-little space, then don't. But don't make me into the bad guy for expecting adherence to basic safety precautions, when those precautions actually CAN protect both the dogs and the people.
