Centuries ago, communities, towns, and civilizations figured out that they need to fence off dangerous animals, such as lions, tigers, hyenas, and rhinos. For animals that are tougher to craft protective devices and devises, like snakes or large birds, perhaps the move was to move to a different area. Dogs are no exception. Post year 2000, the dog is generally accepted to be a human-friendly animal. However, the track record that some aspects of the dog world has established, is that some dogs remain a serious danger. The line in the sand should be drawn, it may involve accepting the fact that certain dogs, especially that have the reputation for proclivity to attack, need to be worked with in certain ways.
Pit bulls freely running up and down the street in the neighborhood, for example, should not be a situation that exists in civilized areas.
