Powerhouse John Makus
"The days of dangerous dogs in Washington are going to be over.
If you're a dog owner and your dog's a dangerous dog?
It's not going to last.
We're going to stop it.
When asked if he would testify..."Absolutely, if they would give me the privilege, I would be honored. I would love to raise the awareness and to prevent another single attack. No human being should be exposed to the remotest possibility of this kind of an attack. It's just not something that we should
tolerate. And we're going to do whatever is necessary to protect public safety."
Are you outright calling for a breed ban?"I believe that a breed ban, while it is unfair, it's unpopular, it's extreme, but I'll tell you it's effective. And in my opinion, it is absolutely necessary to protect the public safety. It is what it is. It's going to upset a lot of people. But if it can save one life, if can save one more attack, it's absolutely worth it."
Are you talking state law?State law.The words and mission of John Makus are extremely powerful. Owners of dangerous dogs in Washington state should start packing their bags now. This man, his mission -- our mission at DogsBite.org -- is unstoppable.
