I have a pitbull (American pitbull terrier) that is a rescue. He loves people, but is so aggressive towards other animals that I can hardly believe it.

After having one for years now, I believe there should be some sort of training or licensing requirement before someone can own one. The combination of innate aggression and power is truly dangerous

I can never walk my dog off-leash, I can never hand my dog to someone inexperienced. I love my dog, but responsible ownership is much more burdensome than any other dog I've had.

Honestly all pets should have a liscence, that includes going through at least some certification for them since there isn't a reason to own one.

I assume you would mean that there would be like tiers of license for more normal pets, and then a stricter license for Pitbulls or Mastiffs or whatever. What sort of competence do you want people to demonstrate before getting a pet like a Cat or Golden Retriever?

Must present evidence of sitting through something like the reccomended introductory lecture kennels and trainers do. It usually composes of: what the animals like, how to take care of them, how to entertain them, their health problems and costs.

Any good owner is going to do it anyway.
