Yes.The owner should be held responsible.To what degree I feel should be situational,but they should be held responsible.

I agree with situational as well because this is what allows such high numbers for "bite statistics". Alot of times certain breeds are at the top of the "list" for bites but yet situations are not taking in to considerations as much as the breed or breed mix is. Preventative measure's are needed none the less but allowing harsher penalties for ownership would help.

This is coming from a story I'm following out of NC and a owner was held liable but yet people still are blaming the wrong thing the animal. I am trying to help build more knowledge to present rebuttals at the town meeting.
