Breeds of attacking dogs are usually unknown

According to the 2013 study by the American Veterinary Medical Associations, breed verification was only possible in 14% of dog-caused fatalities. 
Other studies had been based on newspaper and TV reports. This study was based on law enforcement reports, animal control reports and investigator statements.                                                                                  It is clear however, that the owners of attacking dogs fit a certain profile. Breed specific legislation is a mistake. What we need is owner specific legislation. There should be a test for dog ownership, as there is a test to assess someon'es fitness to drive a car. In some states, people must have  license before owning a gun. Same thing could go for dog ownership.
