I don't think any dog owner would appreciate dogs and dog ownership being regulated like automobiles. But you do make a good point that things that cause harm should be regulated.

Actually, I would have no problem with it, considering how it was done of course.
One idiot in Montreal, who has a dog that wasn't even a pitbull, leaves it outside unattended, with a crappy fence, and it escapes and kills someone. So an owner who has attended classes, has a well-trained, friendly dog should be punished because they happen to own a certain breed? I don't think that's fair to the good owners and I don't think BSL laws will protect the public.
I think there should be significant punishments for people whose dogs injure others. And I wouldn't have a problem if people had to qualify before they could get a dog. I volunteer in rescue and see the results when any idiot who can find kijiji can get a dog.
