I'm not convinced that banning breeds works, either. I am a dog lover, and would like to think we'll get another one at some point, but something needs to be done to stop unscrupulous breeders and irresponsible owners.
Maybe making all sales of dogs illegal, with breeders not just registered but controlled might work? If only dogs from licensed breeding 'farms' (for want of a better word) could be legally sold, the money would fall out of the over-breeding market, and the types of dogs made available could be controlled.
Potential owners could be vetted and perhaps there could be tests of some sort to prove that they are capable of looking after their pets.
I'm thinking aloud here, but would that work?
