Travel and laws on smoking, age of consent and dangerous dogs


Laws vary from country to country and in different states in the USA and in different towns. For example, smoking in public places. The age of consent and marriage vary. Age of consent and age at which you can marry, with or without parental agreement - are not the same. (The first time I looked the lowest age varied from 12 in Alabama to 21 in California.) Today I looked at the ownership of 'dangerous' animals.

I read about an event in the USA. We have a problem, three 'loving' dogs kill their 'loving' owner. The dogs are pit bulls and mastiffs. So look down all the dog owners' comments for causes and solutions.
'My dog is ok,' like  'my dad smoked and lived to 100' might be useful information on your situation but cannot be transferred to another individual or a group of 1000 or more until we have statistics. However, if we do want to take individual experiences and see if they form a pattern or group, from a small sample of perhaps 100-300 comments:
These are: dogs are territorial, new dogs establish a pecking order and fight; don't try to break up a dog fight; get big or dangerous dogs neutered; take dogs for training; don't  adopt an adult dog when you don't know it's history; don't have dogs in a pack when you are home alone because you could overcome one but not a pack; and my favourite, quoted as law of success 3 - 'don't have any pet which can eat you'.
