What I suggest is a licencing scheme where accredited vets have to decide if the dog is a dangerous TYPE of dog ie - if it looks like a pit bull then it is a pitbull. Such a dog would need to be castrated (if a male) and muzzled at all times. Failure to do so would mean no licence and massive penalties if it attacked anyone (mandatory jail for the owner).
This would make such dogs unpopular and the breeds would disappear from the streets.
