Pencils are a safety hazard, you can try to keep your pencil under control, but the fact of the manner is, you could still stab yourself or others with them. I've seen it happen in many cities across the world. Pencils must be banned!

Pencil shavings are disgusting! I just hate the sight of them, splattered all across the carpets, getting stuck to the bottom of my shoes! They're an out-right health and safety disaster, it's unclean and they must be banned!

Everything you are proposing is lunacy, I'm sorry, it is. Your solution is not a solution, to a problem that is not so much a problem. Your whole reasoning is flawed, and your solution doesn't solve what you're trying to solve. It's only slightly limiting it, slightly.


Obviously wild dogs would not be allowed in human population centers.

And that does what? India doesn't allow feral dogs in towns, and yet they still remain a serious problem.

Dogs are a carnivorous species. Their teeth have not evolved to eat grass, they are sharp and strong, good for tearing through flesh.

Call of Duty is not by any stretch of the imagination a realistic interpretation of how the military operates, let alone how it uses dogs.


so they just made attack dogs up?

if dogs can be trained to attack people, they may in some unpredictable circumstances use some of that potential to try and harm people (and I've seen it happen plenty of times, leash or no leash).

And no, dogs shouldn't be banned. Dogs are some of the most loyal and caring creatures humanity has ever known. And they can be used for more than just pets. They are used by our police to sniff out drugs and bombs and they are used by our military as scouts.

If you want my dogs you can take them over my dead body.

that's because in India (presumably) dogs as domestic pets is still being allowed. So there could be confusion by the authorities about which dogs are wild and which ones are owned by people but on the run. The authorities don't want to face legal action by accidentally taking out the wrong dogs.

With my plan, there would be no such conclusion. Decisive action can be taken.

Also, India does not have the world's most effective law enforcement.

Whereas deer kill roughly 100 Americans a year.

Granted most of those incidents them going through somebody's windshield, but nonetheless statistics indicate that deer are ten times more lethal than dogs.

People under twenty one aren't allowed to drink; take a guess as to how effective that law is. Laws are only lines of text in a law book, and laws like the ones you're proposing would be insanely easy to bypass. If it were as easy as the government saying something and everybody doing what they said, drug-cartels and other crime syndicates wouldn't exist, but they do and the black market thrives because of things like laws against alcohol and drugs. I can assure you that, even if you tried to get rid of all dogs, it would be an impossible task, considering the roles of black markets and criminal organizations; illegally selling animals (like rare, endangered species that can't be bought legally) is actually a very profitable black market as it is, and all you would do is make it even more profitable.
