In some countries, you are already financially responcible for your pets in general. There have been given out some heavy pay-outs for some accidents in my country because somebodies dog did some dmg to other pets.
But you can't go to far with this. Like the encident which OP shows off, where the kid died, you would never be able to make a law, which would make the owner a murderer in that case, since it is open to so many random factors. We can proberly talk about smaller punishments as for manslaughter or aquantance to a situation of murder, but very rarely as murder.
For the law to work, you would have to be able to prove, that the owner wanted to kill with his pet... And such laws are already in use many places.
But just because your pet kills a person, does not mean that the owner is at fault. You could end up with some trials, where stupid people attacked a dog/pet and got hurt/killed, because the dog/pet defended itself, and the owner of the dog/pet would be up for heavy punishment.
May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.
I've seen situations where the dog has a history of being aggressive towards children, and then one day the dog finally manages to kill one, and even though there's a history of aggression, nothing substantial happens to the owners. And yes, if your dog kills a child, unless that child climbed your fence without permission to come irritate your dog, you are responsible. You are responsible for controlling your dog in all situations.
Seeing as you from the US and this thread is about the Dangerous Dogs Act in the UK that is not altogether unsurprising however a quick Google search shows that irresponsible owners whose dogs attack people are being fined and in certain cases imprisoned on both sides of the Atlantic.
It is flawed. It should be changed to the dangerous dog owners act.
Cause otherwise it won't do shit. May as well ban any dog that can't fit in a purse.
train the owners, not the dogs. yes some dogs are bred to be guard dogs and violent, but rarely do the dogs ever run out and kill people.
Yes and no.
I did pitbul and other dog rescue for years, and in my experience, there's 2 main causes of dog attacks.
1.) Feral. Dogs abandoned and left on the street. If you ever see any feral dog, be careful. Especially in urban areas. These dogs are more than likely abused, forced to fight for territory/resources, forced into a life of dog fighting for profit or being a bait dog (forced to be torn up by fighters to train the fighters), and/or are probably starving. These dogs are more rare to attack though as they tend to just want to protect their territory. You tend to know almost right away whether or not to approach one.
2.) This has probably been the biggest cause in my experience: Inbreeding. Dogs like pitbulls are big money in the hood. Don't be surprised if that "purebreed" is really a 4th or 5th generated inbred dog. If you are looking to get a pit, try to go for a mix or an adult that you can easily test the temperment of. If you REALLY want a purebreed, go through a licened, certified breeder. Not Tyrone selling "purebreeds" on the corner of Walmart for $100 a pup.
Hard to tell when they're pups, but as they age you can see more symptoms, including aggression. This is ESPECIALLY a problem with blue-nosed.
Basically, like everything else in this world. The leading cause is fucked up, degenerate humans.

That makes no sense. Pitbulls are rather medium sized dogs...in comparison golden retrievers/labs are much larger...and no golden retrievers/labs do not have the same bite statistics as pitbulls do (especially and I mean ESPECIALLY in comparison to bite fatalities/seriousness of bites).
Sounds like the same argument used with drugs and guns. I agree that dogs especially home and family guardian breeds should be extensively trained and socialized, my brother has a 100 lb female Pit Bull that if he didn't put a ton of hours into training and socializing her as a puppy she'd be an absolute terror. As it is she received much more than the recommended amount of training and is continually doing refresher stuff with her so she's an amazing dog.
