First of all, I'm willing to bet you're not an animal psychologist and don't, in fact, know if muzzling dogs would have a negative psychological impact on them. Can you point to any evidence to support this claim? I'm sure your dog wouldn't like having a muzzle at first, but she'd get used to it. If she didn't, I guess she couldn't leave your house/yard. Oh well.
Second, if a dog didn't like wearing a muzzle, who the fata cares? This is a public safety issue. I'm more concerned about preventing my daughter from getting mauled by a pit bull than if a muzzle makes a pit bull sad.

Is it really that confusing? Do you know what a muzzle is? Do you know what public means? Yeah, if you left your property your dog would need a muzzle. It's super simple.
