Hooray for Ontario for putting some teeth (pun intended) into laws aimed at irresponsible dog owners.

Hopefully this woman ends up in a whole heap of doo-doo...

Certainly a much better solution than banning pitbulls altogether- go after the irresponsible owners.

A woman was walking her pit bull, but it was not on a leash and was not muzzled, in violation of the the Dog Owner's Liability Act.

That's flat out negligent, imo. If you're going to walk your dog without a leash, you'd better be prepared to pay the consequences if it attacks someone.

for some reason when i was a kid gorwing up in texas, i was always under the impression that if a minor broke the law it was the parents that were punished. i see this happening for dog owners but not for parents and their renegade kids any more. [distant tangent]
