Too bad everybody looks the other way when it comes to mammals. Dogs are cute and fuzzy so it is o.k. Stuff the dog attack statistics for a given area in someones face against snake attacks as argument and it won't even be considered. They would maybe consider it if their mother was attacked by a pair of dogs running loose or.. watching their freind get his face rearranged by a loose dog coming into the yard. (Personal experiences. I still like dogs.)
